PORTLAND, Ore. - San Diego Wave FC (8-6-7, 31 points) battled to a 1-1 draw against Portland Thorns FC (8-6-7, 31 points) at Providence Park on Saturday night, extending its unbeaten road streak to a Club best eight matches.

San Diego created the breakthrough in the 56th minute following sustained pressure inside the box. Portland's defense failed to clear the ball, leaving a chance for midfielder Savannah McCaskill to slot a left-footed shot into the back of the net and give the Wave a 1-0 lead.

Portland equalized late in the 86th minute when Olivia Moultrie's free kick from just outside the box struck the crossbar, and the rebound fell to Reyna Reyes, who finished from close range to level the match at 1-1.

Next Match: The Wave returns home to host the Orlando Pride at Snapdragon Stadium on Friday, Sept. 26. The Club's match will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with Noche Latina, presented by Jameson, and kick off at 7:30 p.m. PT with tickets available for purchase here. The match will also be streamed live on Paramount+ and NWSL+.
