Breslin attended Massapequa High School.[2]
She then attended the University of Illinois in the United States, where she was regarded as one of the soccer team's most important players.[3][4]
Breslin played for New Zealand side Wellington Phoenix, where she was described as " had a mixed start to life with the Phoenix, failing to convert good chances on a few occasions in the first five rounds of the season, and the blow to her head was a further setback".[5] In June 2024, Breslin announced she's departing Wellington Phoenix to explore other opportunities.[6]
Breslin has been described as "expanded into the mold of a forward, which was different from her initial position as a midfielder, and that allowed her to be in on more of the action scoring-wise".[7]
Breslin is a native of Massapequa, New York, United States.[8]
