As Gotham part-owner Eli Manning looks on, Makenzy Doniak and Jaedyn Shaw team up for match-winning goal
Manning never was able to beat a San Diego football club after spurning the Chargers in the NFL 2004 Draft.
The Wave’s defense would’ve pleased Marty Schottenheimer, as would’ve Doniak’s bruising effort that set up her left-footed shot.“I’ll take a 1-nil over a 4-3 win any day,” said Stoney, a former center defensive back who captained England’s national team. Showing a feel for offense, too, Stoney entered two reserves into the second-half lineup: forward Doniak, 29, and attacking midfielder Shaw, 18.Doniak bodied past a defender to collect Shaw’s pinpointed pass at the top of the box, maintained possession while creating an angle left of the goal and netted her second score this season, fifth in 25 matches with the Wave and 17th in her seven-year NWSL career.
So although it was Shaw’s finishing touch that stood out last summer when she played higher up and scored in her first three matches as a professional, she’s now showing the makings of a complete game that figures to land her in the 2027 World Cup. Winning two Super Bowls with the Giants, he got the last laugh on the San Diegans who razzed him in Mission Valley and his hints about organizational issues may in fact have been on point, given the dysfunction between Schottenheimer and General Manager A.J. Smith that was later revealed.
