Stoney reacts as San Diego Wave suffer NWSL playoff defeat

‘It’s not enough’ – San Diego Wave boss Casey Stoney reacts as Alex Morgan, Jaedyn Shaw and Co suffer shock OL Reign defeat in NWSL playoffs

San Diego Wave boss Casey Stoney disappointed after her team suffered a shock defeat in the NWSL playoffs against OL Reign.

After topping the league table at the end of the regular season, a star-studded San Diego Wave were expected to go all the way, but on Monday, they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of OL Reign and crashed out of the competition.

Manager Casey Stone was left disappointed after her team’s exit as he wrote on Twitter, “Not the way we wanted it to end but still so much for these players, this club & our incredible fans to be proud of. League champions, record crowds & a second playoff semi-final in a row, two years into our existence. Still, I know it’s not enough.”
