Orlando scored the lone goal of the match in the first half when Luana played a long ball over the top from the opposite side of the field that deflected into the path of Nicole Payne. The forward finished the chance with a bouncing shot that found the back of the net for the game-winner.

Despite controlling much of the match, San Diego was unable to find an equalizer. The Wave outshot Orlando 17-14 and held nearly 58 percent of possession on the night.

Next on the schedule: San Diego travels to Chicago for a matchup against the Stars at Martin Stadium on Sunday, May 31. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 a.m. PT with the broadcast being held on CBS Sports Network. Fans in San Diego can attend the Official Wave FC Watch Party hosted by Margaritaville San Diego.
