Playing in the SouthBay Sports League, the Angel City Cuties racked up their fourth straight convincing win March 26 ... but at a cost.

While Angel City toppled the Wolves 7-1 in an often rough and physical game, the squad lost co-manager/player Dave Wardell to injury, quite likely for the rest of the season.

"He got hurt chasing down a guy during the game," player/coach Miguel Lopez said following the match. "He collided with (ACFC keeper) Logan (Redlin) and fell awkwardly on his shoulder."

Lopez added Wardell has been diagnosed with a broken clavicle, which will see him in recovery for several months.

"I spoke to him last night and he's in good spirits. He'll be out for a bit though."

Angel City FC wishes Wardell a speedy recovery.

The Cuties face defending champs Cosmos next week at Aviation Park with a 1:30 PM kickoff.
