After collecting 7 points in a four-game stretch over 10 days, Boston has now had 10 days rest for this game. Tony DiCicco’s side seems to have found some rhythm for a stretch run, but the same was said one month ago heading into Boston’s first game against Sky Blue FC.

Swedish women's football champions Umea IK will play America's top club stars in the first Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) All-Star Game on August 30 in St. Louis, the US league announced on Tuesday.

Wednesday the Washington Freedom had a one-point lead over the Boston Breakers in the Women’s Professional Soccer standings. Ninety minutes changed that as Boston earned a 1-0 win and took over second place.

Breakers coach Tony DiCicco knows the importance of tonight’s home match against Washington. He just hopes his players aren’t too tired to respond.

Amy Rodriguez went 11 matches without a goal. She netted her first one Sunday and led the Boston Breakers to a 2-0 win.

Try as they might, the Red Stars simply can't shake the scoring woes that have dogged them for nearly two months. Even some dramatic changes to the lineup failed to pan out offensively Sunday, as the Boston Breakers pulled out a 2-0 win at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, extending the Red Stars' winless streak to eight games.

Breakers coach Tony DiCicco needed to come up with something to fix his failing offense. Up stepped Jennifer Nobis. The 25-year-old forward replaced Christine Latham to start the second half last night and delivered the tying goal in the 76th minute as the Breakers rallied for a 1-1 draw against FC Gold Pride before 3,128 fans at Harvard Stadium.

It was a matter of time before the Breakers would score against Saint Louis Athletica last night. There was Kelly Smith, their best player, grazing crossbars in the first half. And Athletica's best player, Daniela, is out indefinitely with a knee injury. Their attack would be limited, in theory.

In search of the biggest surprise for the Breakers this year, look no further than rookie center back Sue Weber.

Sunday at Harvard Stadium, the Boston Breakers take on the Saint Louis Athletica in their first doubleheader with the Boston Renegades versus the Long Island Rough Riders.

Women's Professional Soccer is growing every week. The league is being noticed on the international level. How big can it become?
