San Diego star's 88th-minute header helps Wave open season with 1-0 victory in New Jersey
Alex Morgan scored in the 88th minute and the San Diego Wave won the Challenge Cup with a 1-0 victory over Gotham FC on Friday night in the National Women's Soccer League. Morgan started the second half as a substitute. She broke the stalemate on a header off a corner kick from Savannah McCaskill, who joined the Wave in the offseason from rival Angel City. “The ball came straight to me, so I knew that I couldn't mess it up,” Morgan said.
Gotham claimed the title after a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Reign, and the Wave finished with the season's best record . The league's regular season opens on Saturday. The Wave had a good chance in the 33rd minute, but Gotham goalkeeper Cassie Miller got a hand on Jaedyn Shaw's shot and the ball and it popped up and away.
