NWSL Challenge Cup indeed. A challenge it has been for the expansion side San Diego Wave FC, but for all the lumps they've taken, they have done incredibly well to continue fighting on a match-by-match basis. Their second time against Portland Thorns was no different. Despite a valiant effort down three goals, the Wave were unable to complete the comeback, falling to the Thorns 3-2.
It’s game day in Portland!
