San Diego Wave FC will seek a berth in the NWSL Championship in its inaugural season when it faces Portland Thorns FC in a semifinal Sunday in Portland, Oregon.
"They are very experienced, they've been in this position before, they've been a top side for many, many years," Wave FC coach Casey Stoney said. Portland has at least reached the semifinals eight of the nine years the NWSL has conducted playoffs, including advancing to the final three times and winning championships in 2013 and 2017. The league's 2020 season was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Portland will be playing for the first time since Oct. 2. The league was on an international break from Oct. 3-11. "The last time we played San Diego... we still have that haunting us a little bit because we didn't show up that well," Thorns FC forward Morgan Weaver said on the"Attacking Third" podcast last week."I think that's in the back of our heads."
Wave FC was among three teams with 36 points and 10-6-6 records and was third in the standings because it had a better goal differential than the teams it was tied with, the Houston Dash and Kansas City Current. Wave FC's 34 goals were fifth in the 12-team league and its plus-11 goal differential was fourth.
