Alex Morgan. Abby Dahlkemper. Naomi Girma. 💫
Those are some of the soccer superstars returning to the San Diego Wave FC’s roster in 2023.
After a historic inaugural season led by World Cup champion Morgan, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) expansion team mapped out its game plan for next year, which includes these powerhouse players:
- Goalkeepers: Kailen Sheridan, Carly Telford
- Forwards: Amirah Ali, Makenzy Doniak, Rachel Hill, Sofia Jakobsson, Alex Morgan, Jaedyn Shaw
- Midfielders: Belle Briede, Taylor Kornieck, Kristen McNabb, Kelsey Turnbow, Emily Van Egmond, Danny Colaprico
- Defenders: Abby Dahlkemper, Mia Gyau, Naomi Girma, Kaleigh Riehl, Christen Westphal
The team says next year’s schedule will feature 28 matches — 14 home games at Snapdragon Stadium (let’s break records again, shall we?), and 14 on the road. Season ticket deposits are now available.
