Fabiana Arrives in Boston: Breakers Go To LA For Rematch with Sol

The following was excerpted from a Press Release by the Boston Breakers and the  Women's Professional Soccer League. 

Fabiana spent her first day in Boston getting to know her new teammates and staff. She dropped by the team’s morning training session at Harvard Stadium, and then later travelled to the Breakers office to meet with staff, as well as reporters from the Brazilian Times.

Fabiana played on Brazil’s silver medal-winning Olympic Team last summer in Beijing. Widely regarded as one of Brazil’s fastest rising stars, she came on as a substitute in both Brazil crucial semifinal and final matches against Germany and the United States, respectively.

Fabiana was drafted with the second pick in the second round (ninth overall) of the WPS International Draft. 

While playing for the silver medalist Olympic Team, she came off the bench in both the semifinal and final matches against Germany and the United States, respectively.

Prior to joining the Breakers she played for Corinthians FC in Brazil prior to joining the Breakers. She scored six goals for Corinthians during the 2008 season prior to suffering a season-ending injury.
