With veterans Lo’eau LaBonta and Chloe Logarzo on the injured list and Desiree Scott starting on the bench, head coach Huw Williams made a few changes from KC NWSL’s season opener at Louisville. Gaby Vincent started in the d-mid role and Michele Vasconcelos alongside Victoria Pickett in midfield.
The starters:
Amy Rodriguez etched her name into the record books again for KC NWSL in the 13th minute. After going scoreless in their first regular season match, A-Rod was the beneficiary of a quick transition attack. A long ball up to Mallory Weber who made a run to the side of the box before slicing a perfect cross just outside the six to Rodriguez.
