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.

ANTONIO Denzil started his soccer career at the age of 13 in Cleveland, Ohio. During this time soccer was in its infancy stage and finding pick-up games was next to impossible.

During this time, he made appearances in 8 playoff games and several tournaments including the Duke Fall Classic. After graduation, Denzil coached different levels of soccer including high school, club and professional teams. He was also the director of youth development for the Canton Invaders Summer Camp. During Denzil's time with the Canton Invaders Camps his duties included: generating new camp sites, acquiring sponsors and strengthening team curriculum and recruitment skills. He is currently the director of coaching and a coach for the Akron Metro Futbol Club. Additionally, he serves as the owner of a Sports Specialties Group, an organization that provides coaching services to the community, high school and premier soccer programs in Northeastern Ohio. GIANFRANCO BORRONI Gianfranco has played soccer semiprofessionally in Sacile, Italy and played in the Lake Erie Soccer League of Cleveland for 18 years.
