SAN DIEGO - San Diego Wave FC (6-3-2, 20 points) fell 2-1 to Seattle Reign FC (5-4-2, 17 points) at Snapdragon Stadium on Friday night. Despite a second-half equalizer from Delphine Cascarino and a near-go-ahead strike just moments later, a late goal from Seattle sealed the result and snapped San Diego's six-match unbeaten streak.

After over 65 minutes of back-and-forth play between the two sides, Seattle broke the deadlock in the 67th minute. Midfielder Sally Menti fired a shot from nearly 25 yards out that curled into the top corner, beating a diving Kailen Sheridan to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

San Diego would answer 10 minutes later off a corner kick from María Sánchez that Cascarino timed and headed the ball perfectly into the near post to level the match at 1-1. Just two minutes later, the French international nearly gave San Diego the lead with a laser from outside the box. Her strike was headed toward the upper corner, but Seattle goalkeeper Claudia Dickey managed to get a fingertip to it, deflecting the ball off the crossbar.

Seattle found the game-winner in the 87th minute on a counterattack. Rookie Emeri Adames carried the ball down the field, broke into the box, and launched a powerful strike past Sheridan to give the Reign the late advantage and secure all three points.

Next Match: San Diego Wave travels to Houston to face the Dash at Shell Energy Stadium on Friday, June 13. The match is set to kick off at 5:00 p.m. PT and it will be broadcast live on Paramount+ and NWSL+.
