This is part 3 of a 31 part series looking at the 31 biggest stories in 2016 in Kansas City Soccer.
2016 was supposed to be a glorious year for FC Kansas City. They were coming off back-to-back National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) Championships in 2014 and 2015. They had lost their star midfielder, Lauren Holiday, but things still seemed to be looking ok.
Then the news came that Amy Rodriguez was expecting her second child. Awesome news for her and her family but that would remove a key scoring threat for FCKC.
