The NWSL is back in action, as No. 1 San Diego looks to defend its grip on the NWSL standings against 2026 addition Denver on Saturday.
The Wave is currently two points clear of the competition on a 4-0-1 record, bolstered by rookie Lia Godfrey’s promising attack.
“She has had a really good start to life as a pro, and transitioning from a college player to being a professional player,” said San Diego manager Jonas Eidevall. “It comes from her having such a good preseason.”
The Wave now visits Centennial Stadium for the first time in this weekend’s NWSL slate. The No. 9 Summit is coming off a record-breaking home debut — despite going scoreless in its last two games on a 1-1-3 record.
Blockbuster San Diego signing Catarina Macario could see her first-ever NWSL minutes this weekend, while Denver will have to wait a few more weeks before welcoming its headliner, US and Lyon star Lindsey Heaps.
“It’s been cool to see what they’ve been able to accomplish as an expansion team and coming into the league,” Heaps told the Denver Post ahead of last Saturday’s USWNT friendly in Colorado.
