You’ve just lost 7-1 as the midseason capper to a lot of losses. How do you keep your team going?
Boston Breakers head coach Matt Beard arrived in Boston knowing that he would be taking over a team with a losing record that had had some difficulties in the past couple of seasons.
But he got much more than that, as the Breakers started off the season with a player who needed to go on the long-term injury list before they’d ever had their first practice in Sinead Farrelly, and then got hit with a season-ending knee injury for goalkeeper Abby Smith, who was looking like a strong competitor for the starting spot.
