The start of a new season has officially arrived with the 2023 NWSL Collegiate Draft just days away. As it stands, it’s set to be a relatively quiet night for San Diego Wave FC in their second season as a club. The team have the 33rd and 45th picks overall, having made the best out of holding the top pick overall last season and selecting a generational talent at defender, Naomi Girma. Just because the draft may be quiet for the Wave, they very much expect to make even more noise this season.
Taking Naomi Girma with the first pick in the 2022 NWSL Draft was only the beginning of great things coming San Diego's way.
