bost-break-logoBOSTON – The Boston Breakers announced May, 28, 2015 that defender Samantha Lofton and midfielder Chanel Johnson have been named to the roster as amateur call-ups.

Lofton was selected by the Breakers in the third round (20th overall) in the 2015 NWSL College Draft. A 2014 First Team All-Colonial Athletic Association honoree at James Madison University, Lofton started 74 of the 80 games she appeared in for the Dukes, finishing with six goals and 12 assists.
