San Diego Wave FC's franchise-record winning streak came to an end on Wednesday night, as the Portland Thorns won 2-0 at Providence Park. The Wave, who had won five straight matches, were outshot by the Thorns 11-5, but both teams finished with exactly three shots on goal. Marie Müller and Sophia Wilson both scored for the Thorns, with Müller taking Olivia Moultrie's pass in stride in the 10th minute and lofting it over Wave goalkeeper Leah Freeman for her first-ever NWSL goal. The Thorns improved to 5-1-1, while the Wave fell to 5-2-0. The loss was the Wave's first since March, and it snapped their club-record five-match winning streak. The Wave will look to bounce back on Sunday, when they host Bay FC at Snapdragon Stadium. And then they'll travel to Angel City on May 9, before hosting Trinity Rodman and the Washington Spirit on May 15. But for now, the focus is on regrouping after a tough loss. The Thorns have not lost to the Wave at home since September 2023, and they'll look to continue that streak in their next matchup. So the Wave will need to come out strong in their next match, and try to get back to their winning ways. The club's fans will be eager to see how they respond to this loss, and whether they can get back on track. The Wave's players will need to step up their game, and try to outscore their opponents. The Thorns' goalie, Mackenzie Arnold, finished with three saves, compared to Freeman's one. The Wave's coach will need to make some adjustments, and try to find a way to beat the Thorns in their next matchup.
