She Plays, We Recap: Highs, Lows, and Fresh Starts Across San Diego Sports

The last time the San Diego Wave and Racing Louisville FC met, the Wave stormed into Lynn Family Stadium in Kentucky and walked away with a dominant 4-1 victory.

But in their latest clash at Snapdragon Stadium, Louisville arrived with revenge on their mind.

And they got it. Read more here.

San Diegans Julieta Pareja and Alyssa Ahn knew they had their work cut out for them when they were scheduled to play No. 9 Elena Rybakina and No. 19 Elise Mertens, respectively.

The teens, ages 16 and 18, made their debuts in the U.S. Open with unlucky draws. Pareja lost to Rybakina 6-3, 6-0. Ahn lost to Mertens 6-1, 6-0.

Regardless of the outcome, the players were excited about the opportunity.

"The work that I have been putting in with my team, it shows that we are on the right path,” said Pareja, a Carlsbad native. "I was fortunate enough to have been born and raised in San Diego. It’s such a special city, not only because of the weather but because of its people. It also gave me the opportunity to practice and improve year-round."

Each player earned $110,000 in prize money for the first-round match, what many predict will be the first of many grand slam tournaments to come.

⚽ University of San Diego. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Chloe Walls was named West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Week after two consecutive standout performances. Against UC Irvine, Walls, from Chula Vista, preserved a shutout with five saves - three in one-on-one situations - as the game ended with a draw, 0-0. Against UC Santa Barbara, she made another five saves and allowed only one goal in the 1-1 tie. Walls leads the WCC in save percentage at 90.9%.
