Adames secures Reign win with late goal in thrilling match

Emeri Adames scored in the 87th minute to give the Seattle Reign a 2-1 win over the San Diego Wave.

SAN DIEGO — Emeri Adames scored in the 87th minute to give the Seattle Reign a 2-1 win over the San Diego Wave.

It was another milestone for Laura Harvey.  She coaches her 250th regular-season game as the head coach of the Reign. She is the only coach to ever surpass 200 games.

The loss snapped a six-game undefeated streak for San Diego (6-3-2).

The Reign (5-4-2) took a 1-0 lead via a long-range strike by rookie Sally Menti in the 67th minute. It was Menti’s first goal in the NWSL coming on her first career start.

San Diego did not trail for long. Maria Sanchez whipped in a corner kick on her left-foot and Delphine Cascarino nodded her third goal of the season in at the front post in the 75th minute.

With the clock ticking down, Adames broke free on a counterattack, weaved in and out of pressure from Kennedy Wesley and then hit a left-foot shot from 17 yards out that whizzed past goalie Kailen Sheridan.
