Column: Alex Morgan, Wave defense thrive in 3-0 victory in muggy Houston
The Wave have regained their 2022 form of leaning on Alex Morgan’s scoring knack and crisp defense.
The 3-0 victory over the Dash, preceded by a 2-0 victory at Kansas City, meant the Wave have offset a pair of recent 3-1 defeats in which the defense made too many mistakes.The Wave knew they were in Houston, all right. The heat index registered 89 degrees at kickoff.She made an alert read to exploit a defender’s poor pass, and just like that the Wave led 1-0.
When Morgan’s 25-yard deflection of goalkeeper Jane Campbell’s attempted clearance kick rolled into the net, Wave coach Casey Stoney jumped in celebration. The Wave breezed in the second half, proving right Morgan’s halftime comment that the team “had a lot more in the tank” than it had at Kansas City.
