SAN DIEGO -- San Diego Wave FC (7-3-3, 24 points) earned a point in a scoreless draw against the Washington Spirit (7-4-2, 23 points) on Sunday night at Snapdragon Stadium. The result marked goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan's 40th career NWSL shutout and sends the Wave into the FIFA international break sitting third overall in the league table.
San Diego dictated much of the match offensively, outshooting Washington 16-7 and putting six shots on target to the Spirit's three.
Next Match: The NWSL will take a break from all regular-season matches for the month of July to observe FIFA's international window. The Wave will resume action on August 9 at Snapdragon Stadium when San Diego hosts Los Angeles for the Club's annual Rivalry Match, presented by Kaiser Permanente. Tickets for the match are available here.
