The Breakers are back.
Less than two weeks after Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) folded its tent for the 2012 season,
the Breakers announced on Thursday that it will compete in the new Elite Division of the Women's
Premier Soccer League (WPSL) this year.
"The WPSL recognizes the importance of a professional women's soccer league in America," WPSL
Commissioner Jerry Zanelli said in a statement.
It turns out that you really can go home again. Just ask Bianca D'Agostino.
The 23-year-old Longmeadow, Mass. native was signed by the Boston Breakers, the team announced
on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
D'Agostino was taken 18th overall by Philadelphia in last year's WPS Draft before she signed on
with Atlanta during the 2011 season.
Game time: Sunday, 6 pm
TV: Fox Soccer Channel
The Philadelphia Independence can lock up at least a berth in the WPS Semi Final match with a
win on Sunday against the Atlanta Beat. With the news coming out this week that whichever playoff
game that Philadelphia hosts would be played at PPL Park, there is added incentive for the
Independence.
Former Gopher and current WPS Atlanta Beat player Katie Bethke has been called
back into the U.S. Women's U-23 National Team. Bethke has had numerous call-ups to the U-23 in the
last year.
The U-23′s will be traveling to La Mange, Spain for the Four Nations Tournament.
