Katie Schoepfer won’t return to Boston Breakers in 2017
Katie Schoepfer has been with the Boston Breakers through thick and thin, through three leagues and 95 caps total across all her appearances for the team. But now it’s time for the team to find its way without her, as she announced they have not picked up her contract option for 2017.
Schoepfer was a big goalscorer for the Breakers in WPSL Elite, but didn’t see the same numbers in NWSL. She also got shifted back into a defensive mid role by Tom Durkin, and was sometimes kept there by Matt Beard, especially after the departure of McCall Zerboni left a hole by Angela Salem.
In 2016 Schoepfer had eight starts in 12 games for a total of 597 minutes, bagging one goal.
