New for the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provide links to previews, recaps, features and exclusive coverage.

America East will have its presence felt tonight in the Women’s Premier Soccer League Elite.

Several former players, some of the league’s best, take the pitch tonight in their professional debuts for the Boston Breakers. Boston University has five former players suiting up and the University of Hartford will also be represented this weekend.

Headlining the former Terriers in action tonight are 2010 America East Goalkeeper of the Year Alice Binns and two-time Striker of the Year Jess Luscinski. Both will dawn the uniform of the Breakers. Binns will get the start between the pipes while Luscinski will look to provide an offensive spark off the bench. Luscinski was the Breakers’ fourth round selection in January’s draft. First-team all-conference defender Katherine Donnelly will also be in uniform for the Breakers on Thursday night.

Elsewhere this weekend, Tiya Gallegos, another member of the Terriers’ 2011 championship squad, makes her debut for the New England Mutiny. Taleen Dimirdjian (Boston U. '09) will team with Gallegos for the Mutiny. Hartford’s Caitlin Alves brings her gifted offensive skill set to the Mutiny, as well. Alves led the America East in goals scored in 2011 with 10.

The Breakers travel to take on the ASA Chesapeake Charge at 7:30 p.m. while the Mutiny starts the season on Saturday at home against the New York Fury.
