Following the first half, where the Wave outshot Louisville 5-3, San Diego went into the second half on the attack. Midfielder Sierra Enge hit a shot in the 86th minute that deflected off a Louisville defender and fell to the feet of forward Amirah Ali. The second-half substitute then created the game’s best scoring opportunity when she hit the one-time shot on her right foot, firing a shot just over the goal.
