Sharp-angled, accidental shot propels Seattle's OL Reign to next week's title match, also played at Snapdragon Stadium
An attempted pass sailed into the soccer net, stunning both teams but ultimately defeating the Wave, 1-0, Sunday night in a National Women's Soccer League semifinal playoff match before an announced crowd of 32,262 at Snapdragon Stadium. OL Reign forward Veronica Latsko’s right-to-left service of 25 yards, a sharp-angled blow from near the goal line in the 47th minute, floated over Wave goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan and inside the far post. Latsko appeared incredulous as the net rippled.
A year after two Wave crowds each exceeded 30,000 in announced attendance, setting a pair of league records, the Wave have again topped 30,000 twice. Shaw would just as soon the Wave play all their game in San Diego. Snapdragon was home to all of Frisco, Texas native’s six goals this season plus the goal she scored there Oct. 27 for the U.S. national team. “I feel like I get an extra something whenever I play in the Snap,” said the 18-year-old, whose name fans chanted during the U.S.
