It was a rough start to the regular season for the Boston Breakers on Saturday after they fell to Portland Thorns FC 4-1 in front of 13,386 at Providence Park.<\/p>\n

Stephanie McCaffrey scored her first professional goal in the 63rd minute, but it simply wasn’t enough against a high-powered Portland attack. Allie Long scored in the 71st and 72nd minutes, while Mana Shim and Sinead Farrelly both tallied in the 38th and 21st minutes.<\/p>\n

Katie Schoepfer gave the guests their best shout at equalizing in the 23rd minute after she blasted a rocket that was saved by Michelle Betos.<\/p>\n

Betos was also tested by Kristie Mewis in the 63rd minute after the Boston College product put a shot from the top of the box on frame. <\/p>\n

The Breakers return to action on Apr. 26 when they host the Houston Dash at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium in Cambridge, Mass. Kickoff is set for 5:00pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
