Match Preview: Bay FC take on San Diego Wave FC Sunday from Snapdragon Stadium 

Bay FC (2W-2L-2D; 8 pts) plays the first of two straight road matches this weekend when the club heads south to face San Diego Wave FC (3W-2L-1D; 10 pts) at Snapdragon Stadium. Kickoff is set for Sunday, May 4 at 5 p.m. PT.

The club takes on its first in-state rival this season following two straight results. Bay FC played to a 1-1 draw with Seattle Reign FC last Saturday, earning a point in the standings from a tough, evenly played match. Bay FC scored first for the third time this season and remains unbeaten when doing so this year. After conceding an equalizer just after halftime, the club saw several late chances to put in a game-winner, but the final whistle sounded with the scoreline level at one goal apiece.  

Bay FC’s lone score off the boot of forward Racheal Kundananji marked the Zambian’s first tally this year and her sixth in NWSL play since 2024. Kundananji had been excellent in the early goings this season, advancing into the penalty area at a strong clip in the season’s first five weeks. Caroline Conti’s assist, coming on a perfectly weighted through pass after Bay FC won possession in the middle of the park, marked the Clemson product’s first career assist.
