The package consists of $50,000 in General Allocation Money and $30,000 in intra-league transfer funds.
The move comes as Schupansky prepares for her second season in the NWSL after an encouraging rookie campaign.
Strong Rookie Season
Schupansky made a positive impression during her first NWSL season, recording one goal and five assists.
Her creativity was particularly notable from set-piece situations.
She was the only rookie to create double-digit chances from set plays, registering 10 chances created from dead-ball situations.
Those numbers highlight an important part of her game and could make her a valuable asset for Boston’s attacking setup.
Boston Invest in Young Midfield Talent
At the start of her second NWSL season, Schupansky now gets the opportunity to take another step forward with Boston Legacy FC.
The move gives Boston a young midfielder with proven NWSL experience and a demonstrated ability to create opportunities from set pieces.
