Sydney Leroux ignited her most ruthless form on Wednesday afternoon, torching through the Kansas City defense to score her first brace in three years.
The striker scored twice in Wednesday’s 3-1 road victory over Kansas City, extending the Pride’s unbeaten streak to seven straight games as Orlando continues to defend the top-ranked position in the NWSL table.
With those goals, Leroux tied teammate Alex Morgan to lead both the Pride and the NWSL in scoring with four goals apiece. Morgan still leads in overall production with her additional assist, but Leroux is now on target to surpass her fellow striker when she departs for the Olympics.
