The Kansas City Current as an organization earned a lot of praise for its historic new stadium on the riverfront. It's the first ever constructed expressly for a professional women's sports team. Now, the Current is also turning heads on the pitch.
Through seven games, the team comfortably leads the league in goals with 21 and have yet to lose, winning five and playing to a draw in two of their matches.
KCUR interim news editor and resident NWSL expert Madeline Fox told Up To Date that she attributes the team's offseason additions on offense as a primary reason for the team's success.
"(Temwa Chawinga) is the Malawian international that we picked up in the offseason; she was last year's world-leading scorer for men's and women's," Fox said.
"The highest men's scorer had 54 goals last year, that was Cristiano Ronaldo, a name people might know. Temwa had 63, so nine more."
