Boston Legacy have extended goalkeeper Laurel Ivory's contract through the 2028 NWSL season. The club announced the agreement on 13 November 2026, retaining a member of their goalkeeping group after the end of their inaugural campaign.
Five starts and 15 saves
Boston's release credits Ivory with five appearances, all starts, totalling 450 minutes and 15 saves. She also started the final three matches, during which the Legacy recorded one win, one draw and one defeat.
Technical director Edward Gallagher praised her leadership within the goalkeeping unit and wider squad in comments published by Boston.
A difficult end to the first campaign
Boston's report on their final match, played on 1 November, records a 4–1 defeat at Angel City in Los Angeles. Amanda Gutierres equalised in the 37th minute after the hosts had opened the scoring, but Boston eventually lost by three goals. The report lists two shots on target for the Legacy and six for Angel City.
A Boston player since December 2025
The original signing announcement, dated 17 December 2025, records her arrival as a free agent from Kansas City Current on a two-year deal. She had previously played for Seattle Reign and represented the United States at U-17, U-20 and U-23 levels. The new agreement extends a relationship that began before Boston’s first season, rather than marking a move to a different team.
