San Diego Wave FC's hot start to the season has cooled off, with the team losing their second consecutive match 1-0 to Bay FC at Snapdragon Stadium. The Wave, who had won five straight games to begin the season, struggled against Bay FC, who came into the match in 10th place on the National Women's Soccer League table. Wave FC captain Kennedy Wesley acknowledged that the team was out of sorts collectively during the match, saying 'the execution wasn't quite there.' The match's lone score came early, with Bay FC forward Racheal Kundananji nailing a left-footed shot in the fourth minute. San Diego won the possession battle with 51% for the match and took more shots on goal, but failed to convert on any of them. The Wave's loss to Bay FC came four days after they dropped a 2-0 match at Portland, a measure of revenge for the Thorns, who suffered their lone loss of the season thus far to San Diego 3-1 on March 25. The losses also come at a particularly busy stretch of the schedule for Wave FC, with the team playing six matches this month. Wave FC assistant coach Becki Tweed noted that the schedule has made it difficult for the team to train, saying 'what's hard in these three-game weeks is we don't have an opportunity to train that much.' The Wave is still waiting for Catarina Macario to make her debut, after acquiring her from Chelsea FC in England in late March for a reported $300,000 transfer fee. Macario has been dealing with a lingering heel injury and may not make her NWSL debut until after the month-long midseason break in June. The Wave's next match is on May 9, when they travel to Los Angeles to face rivals Angel City FC. And the team will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses, with captain Kennedy Wesley saying 'it's just a matter of fine-tuning.' But the Wave will have to do so without Macario, at least for now. So the team will have to rely on players like Ludmila Da Silva, who noted that the schedule has been tough, saying 'it's hard when you have two games in a row.' The Wave's loss to Bay FC was a tough one, with the team feeling that the visitors were using gamesmanship to blunt their momentum. The Snapdragon crowd booed several times, feeling that Bay FC was using injuries to stop play and disrupt the Wave's attack.
