It was Boeckmann's first spell outside the United States. She made 13 appearances and scored two goals as Benfica won Liga BPI and the Taça de Portugal Feminina.

On Sunday, 17 May, Benfica defeated Porto 2-0 in the Taça de Portugal Feminina final, with Caroline Møller scoring both goals.

The victory completed the double in Ivan Baptista's first season in charge, after the team secured a sixth successive league title.
