The Boston Breakers learned they will open the season in Seattle against old friend Sydney Leroux and the Reign on Apr. 13 after the NWSL released its 2014 schedule on Friday.
The club, which underwent extensive roster renovations during the offseason, will open its home schedule a week later on Apr. 20 when they host the expansion Houston Dash at Harvard Stadium, the Breakers’ home for 2014. Kickoff is set for 6:30.
The Breakers will play a 24-game regular season schedule that will run through August. Among the most notable games on the fixture list: a May 28 clash against U.S. Women’s National Team forward Alex Morgan and Canadian Women’s National Team captain Christine Sinclair, both of whom play for the defending champion Portland Thorns.
Weeks later, the Breakers welcome back Leroux, who was traded during the offseason, and her new teammates in their only appearance in Beantown this season on Jun. 19. Meanwhile, U.S. National Team leading all-time leading goalscorer Abby Wambach and the Western New York Flash come to town Aug. 3.
The Breakers conclude the regular season at home against the Dash on Aug. 17.
