Lowenberg played four seasons for Boston College and signed a two-year deal with the Legacy in December 2025. She finished her degree in Chestnut Hill this spring while training with the Legacy and made her NWSL debut on May 30, coming on as a substitute against the Kansas City Current.
Lowenberg, a versatile midfielder who hails from Trumbull, Conn., will join Brooklyn FC as the Gainbridge Super League, which is part of USL, prepares to begin its fall season on August 15.
In a release, Legacy director of recruitment Edward Gallagher said the club will remain in close contact throughout the loan “as we help prepare her for the next steps in 2027.”

“Sophia has made real progress since joining us from Boston College and has been a really positive presence within our training group,” Gallagher said. “She has a great personality, has adapted well to the demands of the NWSL environment, and now we feel competitive game time at the professional level will be key to the next stage of her development.”
The Legacy will host Chicago Friday night at 8 p.m. at Rhode Island’s Centreville Bank Stadium. After a 2-2 draw with Bay FC in their return from the break for the men’s World Cup, the Legacy sit 15th in the NWSL standings (2-7-4, 10 points).
Boston recently added two players to its roster: defender Lilly Reale, a Hingham native traded from Gotham FC, and defender Deja Davis from French club Paris FC. Davis won’t be eligible to play for Boston until after the international transfer window opens on July 14.
