It’s hard to believe, because it still feels like San Diego Wave were prepping for to kickoff their inaugural season, but here we are with just four matches left in the regular season. Four matches for the Wave to secure their spot atop the league after spending nearly all season there. The NWSL is nothing if not chaotic, and the finish to this season is no different. First, San Diego needed to find a way to get the win on the road against the defending champions, Washington Spirit.
The match was the final of what was two matches to be broadcast on the main CBS channel, both featuring Wave FC, and the teams got the show started early.
