After only four days of preseason training camp under the "bubble" at Harvard University, Boston Breakers coach Tony DiCicco and his staff have made their first cut-downs from the opening roster of 32. 

On Thursday afternoon the Breakers released four players from their preseason roster, including Anna Caniglia (Nebraska), Samantha Diaz-Motosas (University of South Carolina), Rebecca Mays (Southern Illinois), and Carly Peetz (Nebraska) from training camp.

Peetz was a sixth-round pick (No. 52 overall) in the WPS Draft held in January, while Caniglia, Diaz-Motosas, and Mays participated in camp as undrafted free agents.

Additionally, two Breakers who played big roles on last year's squad were also waived by the team.

Erika Sutton, who was signed to a short-term contract with the Breakers last season to fill the void of seven missing players due to National Team call-ups and played all 90 minutes against FC Gold Pride on Jul. 19, 2009, was waived along with and Mary-Frances Monroe. Monroe played in five games in the 2009 season for the Breakers, recording one assist. 

In previous cut-downs, the team released Greer Barnes (FC Gold Pride), Casey Brown (Boston University), and Andrea Willis (BYU). Brown was drafted in the seventh round of the draft with the 61st overall pick.

An updated 24-player roster will be released on Mar. 16. The final roster will be set on Mar. 31 with 18 roster players and four developmental players.

The team will train over the weekend in Boston before traveling to Florida for a 10-day training camp, including four scrimmages.
