San Diego Wave FC moved back atop the NWSL regular season standings, and posted a 1-0 clean sheet win against the Chicago Red Stars on Saturday at Soldier Field, despite going down a player for more than 30 minutes and conceding a penalty.
With four of the five internationals on tournament duty back for San Diego, save Sofia Jakobsson, the rest went right back into the starting lineup, alongside one surprise name in Jaedyn Shaw. The 17-year-old, playing in her first-ever professional game after being signed earlier this month, was instantly in Casey Stoney’s XI for Wave FC.
