SAN DIEGO, Calif. - San Diego Wave Fútbol Club has signed forward Jackie Altschuld to its 2022 NWSL roster. After joining San Diego Wave FC as a National Team Replacement in July 2022, Altschuld has earned a contract with the club for the remainder of the season.

"It's honestly a dream come true. To be in this environment has been absolutely amazing. I couldn't have gotten here without my teammates and everyone on the coaching staff.
