SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Finishing off the week of three matches, Wave FC collected a point thanks to a record-breaking goal from Alex Morgan after tying OL Reign 1-1 on Sunday afternoon at Torero Stadium in front of 5,000 fans. Today's match maintains San Diego's unbeaten home record in the regular season (2-0-2). San Diego moves to a record of 4-3-2 heading into next weekend's match against Gotham FC in New Jersey.

Alex Morgan got the home crowd on their feet early as she found the back of the net in the eighth minute of the match after Kailen Sheridan found her over the top of OL Reign's defense.

OL Reign equalized the score with a goal from Jess Fishlock in the 38' minute from a one touch shot to the back of the net, for her seventh goal of the season.

The second half stayed level at 1-1 between the two teams with a high intensity end to the match and each team taking home a point from the draw.

The San Diego Wave Fútbol Club will prepare for next Sunday's match against Gotham FC at Red Bull Arena. This will be Wave FC's second match against Gotham FC this season.
