CARY, North Carolina — San Diego Wave FC ended their double-game week road trip on a good note, as they defeated the North Carolina Courage 1-0 on Sunday at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Alex Morgan scored her league-leading sixth goal of the NWSL regular season to win the match, and the San Diego defense held firm to pick up a third clean sheet of the regular season.
Head coach Casey Stoney was back on the sideline for this game, after missing Wednesday’s clash in Louisville due to being in COVID protocols. Kelsey Turnbow was suspended for this game for an elbow thrown in the Louisville match, with Alex Morgan returning to the starting XI for San Diego.
