Wave get Naomi Girma back, lose star Alex Morgan to ankle injury in 1-0 loss to host Pride
The Wave regained Naomi Girma but lost Alex Morgan and the match Friday night in Orlando, falling 1-0 after making second-half improvements couldn’t overcome the club’s worst half of the season. Girma, sidelined the prior game by a thigh injury, started and played 56 minutes. Morgan sat out the closing minutes with an ankle injury. She walked off the field, a good sign regarding her chances for the Olympics this summer.
The best one resulted in Morgan’s injury that left the club a player down for the final 18 minutes. Morgan wrenched her left foot attempting a shot as goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse trapped the ball with her leg. Among the players who sparked the Wave was Kimmi Ascanio, a 16-year-old midfielder and Floridian appearing in her second professional match.
