Team news & squads
San Diego Wave FC team news
San Diego Wave enter this fixture on a hot streak, having gone 6-1-1 in their last eight matches and leading the league in assists (20) and possession. Their attack has been dynamic, with 24 goals from 13 different players, led by Adriana Leon, Kimmi Ascanio, Delphine Cascarino, and María Sánchez.
The squad is largely healthy, though forward Trinity Byars remains out for the season with a knee injury suffered in college.
Washington Spirit team news
Washington Spirit arrives in San Diego after seeing their league-best away win streak snapped in Portland, but they still boast a 5-1-0 road record, best in the NWSL this season. The Spirit are missing several key players due to injury, including star forward Trinity Rodman, midfielder Leicy Santos, and striker Ashley Hatch, who is chasing a major goal milestone.
Washington recently bolstered their attack by signing Italian forward Sofia Cantore, though she will not join the squad until July. Despite the absences, the Spirit remain organized and resilient, and a win would mark their first-ever victory in San Diego.
