Breakers to Compete in WPSL Elite Women's Soccer League

February 10, 2012 - Women's Professional Soccer (WPS)
Boston Breakers News Release


The Boston Breakers will take the field this season, playing in the new Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) semi-pro elite women's division.

The new division will feature between eight and 10 teams, including the Western New York Flash, the Chicago Red Stars, and FC Indiana. More teams will be announced in the coming weeks. The league will be based in the East Coast and Midwest. The move will allow professional female soccer players from the WPS teams to remain in top form as the WPS moves toward resuming play in 2013.

The Breakers roster is already taking shape, featuring forward Katie Schoepfer, who is coming off a great debut season with the Breakers, newly signed defender and Olympic gold medalist Cat Whitehill, and recent draft pick, University of North Carolina forward Courtney Jones.

"We are delighted that (WPSL Commissioner) Jerry (Zanelli) and the WPSL and current teams were able to accommodate both our desire to keep our team together and play in 2012 along with the Western New York Flash and that teams were able to so quickly step up and commit to an elite league," Boston Breakers Governor Michael Stoller said. "We continue to work hard toward a relaunch of the WPS in 2013."

The Breakers are currently exploring the best location for the team to play its home games. We will announce the stadium and location within the next 7-10 days. The schedule will also be announced soon.

Read the entire story on the current Boston Breakers website. We will have a new website coming soon.
