Team Overview

Despite a valiant 1–1 draw against Orlando last week, Utah has struggled to convert possession into goals. Their 65% possession against KC in March didn’t prevent a 3–0 loss, and they’ve yet to score against the Current in three meetings.
Kansas City Current

Standing: 1st in NWSL
Recent Form: W–W–W–W–W

Michelle Cooper & Debinha – Scored in March’s 3–0 win over Utah
Ally Sentnor – Recently acquired from Utah, facing her former team
Kansas City is riding a seven-match win streak, the longest in the league this season. Their +21 goal differential is the best through 14 matches in NWSL history. They’ve scored 20 first-half goals—more than any other team.
