AI match recap

Vancouver return to BC Place as conference leaders after a demanding road stretch, with a chance to reinforce their position before the home date with Seattle. San Diego have drawn frequently but have struggled to turn competitive passages into wins, especially away from home. White’s penalty-box presence and Vancouver’s ability to sustain attacks give the hosts the clearest route, while Dreyer’s transition threat is San Diego’s way to make the match uncomfortable. The major pre-match issue is the conflicting reporting around Vancouver’s availability, so the official lineup matters greatly.
