The Boston Breakers have turned a corner.
What, exactly, they’ve turned into remains to be seen as we head into a three-week Olympic break. But here are the facts: The Breakers have finally won a game after losing five in a row, although the last two games they certainly could have won with a slightly tighter performance. They’ve now scored three games in a row. They won this game against Orlando off the back of their latest signing, forward Natasha Dowie, some lucky calls from the refs, one ball off the post, and mostly organized defense.
That’s a combination of a good team win and the luck that seems to have eluded Boston all season long, with a little cherry on top as Boston got one back on Orlando after losing to them at the last minute earlier this month.
