When I first spoke to Rosie White this season, she had just had a cupcake smashed on her face while taking her 2017 roster headshots. She was still brushing off frosting when we moved outside for the interview, albeit with a smile.
The day of the cupcake incident, the team was just emerging from preseason and would be facing FC Kansas City away soon - a game they ended up losing 2-0. But on photo day, White seemed fairly buoyant, perhaps from a combination of a fun shoot and the abnormally nice early April weather. Boston’s topsy-turvy gloom to sun and back in April is surely a contrast to California, where White previously spent her college years playing for UCLA.
