Boston joins fellow investors three-time Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman, actress Elizabeth Banks, and Celtics GM Brad Stevens and his wife, Tracy. 

"I'm proud to join the ownership group of the Boston Legacy," she said in a statement. "This city helped raise me, and the support I felt here shaped so much of who I am. I couldn't be more excited to have the opportunity to invest into a franchise that's building something special for its players, for the city, and for women's sports as a whole."

Boston grew up in Massachusetts and won two state championships with Worcester Academy.

Her teammate Caitlin Clark was also part of an ownership group that placed a bid on bringing a women's pro soccer team to Cincinnati, though the group ultimately lost to one from Denver.
