The Blues topped the Seattle Reign and lifted the NWSL title thanks to a second-half goal from Amy Rodriguez.
PORTLAND, Ore -- For the second consecutive year, FC Kansas City defeated the Seattle Reign in the National Women's Soccer League Championship Game, twice stealing the crown from the team that posted the best regular-season record.
By downing Seattle 1-0 on neutral ground here at Providence Park, Kansas City accomplished what the team wholeheartedly wanted: To send midfielder Lauren Holiday off into retirement with her second championship of the year. In July, Holiday and her U.S. national teammates won the first Women's World Cup in 16 years.
