San Diego Wave FC defeats Bay FC 2-1, extends winning streak

San Diego Wave FC secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Bay FC with a stoppage-time header from 17-year-old rookie Trinity Armstrong, marking her first professional goal and extending the team's winning streak to three matches. The Wave opened the scoring early with Kennedy Wesley's header from a María Sánchez corner, but Bay FC quickly equalized through Karlie Lema after a swift counterattack. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances—including hitting the woodwork multiple times and having a penalty saved by Bay goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz—San Diego remained level until Armstrong's late heroics. The win highlighted the team's improved attacking style under head coach Jonas Eidevall and the impactful contributions from newcomers like Armstrong and Kenza Dali. San Diego (4-2-1) moved up to third in the league standings, reflecting a significant turnaround from last season. The result capped a spirited performance in front of home fans and reinforced the Wave's emergence as a top contender this season.
