Match in Florida 'a big test for us,' Wave coach Casey Stoney says. San Diego is 1-1-1 in young NWSL season.
A performance last week that was good enough to earn the Wave a tie at Louisville in their road opener likely would not be good enough Friday night against the Orlando Pride. Says who? Said Wave coach Casey Stoney, who, after lauding the team’s grit following the scoreless match April 12, said Pride star Marta would've exploited some opportunities the Wave allowed. Marta won’t be the only world-class player the Wave will have to defend in Florida.
Rookie Kennedy Wesley logged the full 90 minutes as Girma’s replacement and assisted a defense that allowed no shots on goal in the first half or any on-target shots in the match to Uchenna Kanu, Racing Louisville’s top scorer. “I don’t think we’re satisfied with our performance, necessarily,” said Wesley, who played next to Girma on Stanford’s national champions in 2019. “It was a hard-fought battle, but we’re definitely not satisfied, and we want to get the next three points in Orlando.
