As we come to the close of the 2017 NWSL season, there’s a lot to contemplate about the Boston Breakers. They have three games left and are currently on a four-game losing streak with a 3-11-7 record for 9th place overall. They’ve had injuries galore, including the hamstring injury that derailed Rose Lavelle’s rookie season and forced the team to rearrange the rest of their season. They’ve had players retire or depart and they’ve had players who should have had better seasons and players that did have better seasons. They generally improved over last season, but were critically weak in the striker position despite loading the team more towards the attack.
