Brooklyn, N.Y., July 20, 2026 – Brooklyn FC Women today announced that it has acquired midfielder Sophia Lowenberg on loan from the National Women’s Soccer League’s Boston Legacy FC, pending league and federation approval.
A native of Trumbull, Connecticut, Lowenberg, 22, returns to the tri-state area where she grew up after playing four seasons at Boston College, appearing in 67 games with 41 starts and seven goals. She signed her first professional contract with Boston Legacy in December 2025.
