The San Diego Wave opened their season with three points in a tight 3-2 win over the Chicago Red Stars in front of a packed Snapdragon Stadium. Wave forward Alex Morgan put the game away as she scored a penalty in the 89th minute to secure the win for her club.
This was a rematch of last year’s quarterfinal playoff matchup between the Wave and Red Stars where San Diego came out on top 2-1. San Diego Wave finished third in the final standings last season and have opened up their season on the right note with a big three points.
