San Diego Wave FC News Release
SAN DIEGO - San Diego Wave FC (5-12-7, 22 points) fell to the Houston Dash (5-14-5, 20 points) 2-0 at Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday night.
Houston opened the scoring with a goal that was a penalty kick awarded to the Dash after Video Assistant Review. The referee determined that San Diego defender Naomi Girma fouled Houston's Yuki Nagasato in the box, pointing to the spot. Bárbara Olivieri converted the penalty in the 30th minute.
The Dash doubled their lead in the 72nd minute after an errant play at midfield was caused by Olivieri. The midfielder immediately went on the attack and found a wide-open Ramona Bachmann on the back post, scoring the final goal of the match.
Next on the schedule: San Diego returns to Concacaf group stage play to host Club América this Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 7:00 p.m. PT. Tickets start at just $7 and are available here. The Wave then head on the road for a regular season match on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. PT against KC Current.
