Late own-goal sinks San Diego Wave, who remain winless on the road this season

It would take a lot of failure for the San Diego Wave FC not to advance to the National Women’s Soccer League playoffs. Eight of the 14 teams get in. There’s 19 games left. A hot streak or two figures to advance San Diego to its third postseason in three years. But the Wave have gone from being the league’s top road team of 2023 to one that’s winless through four road matches following Friday night’s 2-1 'come from ahead' loss to first-year Bay FC in San Jose.

Stoney didn’t like how the Wave reacted to the goal, echoing her team's balky response in Seattle. The home team perked up, carried play and scored a tie-breaker in the 87th minute. Rookie defender Hanna Lundkvist couldn’t ward off a Bay FC forward near the goal mouth, resulting in an own-goal. The outcome before an announced crowd of 16,930 ended Bay’s five-game losing streak, just as the Wave’s loss in Seattle ended the Reign’s five-game skid.
