The Boston Breakers find themselves right in the mix. The longest-running professional women’s soccer team in U.S. history, the Breakers have roots dating back more than a decade. The franchise was established in 2000, debuting in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) in 2001. The Breakers competed for three seasons in WUSA before the league folded. When Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) was formed in the fall of 2007, the Breakers joined the league and began play when WPS officially launched its first season in 2009. The Breakers played three seasons in WPS (2009-2011) before the league suspended operations in 2011. In their three WPS seasons, the Breakers reached the playoffs twice. In 2012, the Breakers played in the eight-team WPSL Elite League, which featured eight teams from the Midwest and up and down the East Coast. The Breakers won the regular season championship with an 11-3 record.

  • Women, Soccer and Transnational Migration Sine Agergaard, Nina Clara Tiesler
    Women, Soccer and Transnational Migration Sine Agergaard, Nina Clara Tiesler NEW FRONTIERS: THE TRANSNATIONAL CIRCULATION OF BRAZIL’S WOMEN SOCCER PLAYERS Carmen Rial Dept. Anthropology, UFSC In recent decades, female women’s migration has shifted to the center of migration studies due both to the increase in the number of women involved in international migration, and to a feminist reconceptualization of migration theory. New approaches have examined the presence of women abroad, ranging from studies of family reunification to women as independent economic migrants working in the “care” sector (as maids, cleaning women, prostitutes, nurses etc.). However, along with this specific insertion in the labor market, women also migrate in a South-North direction with other life projects and lifestyles: these include students, highly skilled migrants, entrepreneurs, diplomats and, what interests us here, soccer players.i This chapter compares the global migratory flows of men and women athletes, and the conditions for women’s soccer players in Brazil by focusing on the particular case of Santos highlighting the apparent gender inequalities. Unlike male soccer players, whose migrations to work abroad are registered on the site of the Brazilian Soccer Confederation (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol: CBF) and, in some cases, receive widespread media attention, women athletes who emigrate appear to repeat the trajectory of the three and a half million other Brazilians who now work abroad (most of them clandestinely) they leave the country invisibly. In interpreting the circulation of women soccer players, I reflect upon the motivation for their departure, while also considering personal motivations (e.g. the opportunity to have open homosexual relationships).

    New England Aztec – A History: 2007 Boston Aztec PASL season BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS!!! Aztec wins third straight PASL Regional Crown Team heads to Mexico for league finals after 5-4 OT win over New York Beverly, MA - March 3rd, 2007 - In thrilling fashion, the Boston Aztec stunned their rival New York Shockers 5-4 in overtime to earn the club's third consecutive PASL Regional Championship. Former Salem St. All-New England O'Neil Gray played the part of hero once again, scoring the winner with just over a minute to play in the first golden goal, sudden-death OT period. It was Gray's goal in last season's final with 30 seconds to play that gave the Aztec's that memorable win. For the fourth year in a row, Aztec and the Shockers played for the regional crown, with Boston winning the last three. Now, Aztec heads for Tijuana, Mexico for the PASL International Championships to be held next weekend, March 9th & 10th. Eight teams from the United States will compete in the finals, representing the Southwest, Northwest, Pacific, Midwest/Great Lakes, South Central, Southeast and New England Regions. Four Mexican teams will be in the field, with two each from Mexico City & Tijuana. As for tonight's championship match, the Aztecs controlled the first half of play, going into the locker room up 2-0 at halftime on goals by Gray and current Salem St. All-New England Andrew Angus. After former Beverly All-American Ali Kaba made the score 3-0 two minutes into the second half, it looked like Aztec would run away with the match.
