SAN DIEGO — Emily van Egmond scored deep into stoppage time to give the San Diego Wave a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Reign on Friday night.
Alex Morgan appeared to score earlier in stoppage time but it was waived off before van Egmond broke through in the 98th minute. It was the Wave's first win over the Reign.
Savannah McCaskill blasted a misplayed clearance from Reign goalkeeper Claudia Dickey that hit the inside of the post and caromed across the face of the net in the 40th minute. McCaskill fell to the field in frustration.
The game at San Diego's Snapdragon Stadium was a rematch of the semifinals of last season's NWSL playoffs, which the Reign won 1-0 on Veronica Latsko's goal.
The Wave dropped their only previous match of the regular season so far, a 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Current last weekend. The Reign are 1-2-0 this season.
The Wave went into the game 0-7-2 across all competitions against the Reign.
