The Boston Breakers winless streak went to four straight after falling 3-2 to first place Sky Blue FC on Sunday at Dilboy Stadium<\/p>\n
Lisa DeVanna (9′), Monica Ocampo (26′) and Katy Freels-Frierson (71′) all scored for Sky Blue, while Joanna Lohman (61′) and Kyah Simon (90+5′)\u00a0countered for the hosts.<\/p>\n
The loss pushed the Breakers record to 3-4-3 (12 points) while Sky Blue upped their mark to 8-2-1 (25 points).<\/p>\n
“They\u2019re leading the league, and there\u2019s good reasons why they\u2019re leading the league. I felt like we created chances, but … our finishing needs to improve,” Boston Breakers head coach Lisa Cole said in a team release. “Chances were there for us. We just weren\u2019t good enough today.”<\/p>\n
Sky Blue opened the scoring in the ninth minute\u00a0when DeVanna curled a shot around goalkeeper Ashley Phillips off a pass from Monica Ocampo. In the 26th minute, Ocampo the doubled the lead with a goal of her own, finishing a pass from Freels-Frierson past Phillips.<\/p>\n
The Breakers\u00a0came close to cutting the lead before the interval when\u00a0Katie Schoepfer ripped a shot that nearly found the back of the net before Sky Blue defender Coco Goodson punched it away in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n
Boston finally broke through in the 60th minute via Lohman, who headed a cross from the left flank by Julie King past Brittany Cameron for her second goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Sky Blue responded in kind ten minutes later when Freels put away a chance of her own as she fired past Alyssa Naeher, who came on at halftime for her season debut for Phillips.<\/p>\n
Simon grabbed one back for the hosts five minutes into stoppage time, but any hopes of an equalizer faded when the final whistle blew moments later.<\/p>\n
The Breakers will try to snap their winless streak on\u00a0Jun. 26\u00a0when they host Seattle Reign FC at Dilboy Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7pm.<\/p>\n
