The Kansas City Current continued their undefeated start to the season with a 2-0 victory over the Houston Dash, making their mark in the NWSL record books in the process.

The victory marked the Current’s 17th consecutive game without a defeat, breaking the NWSL regular season record for consecutive undefeated streaks. The record was previously held by the 2014 Seattle Reign, whose streak lasted just one season.

The last time the Current lost was a 2-1 loss to the Washington Spirit on September 30, 2023.

Temwa Chawinga led the way with two goals in three minutes, giving her an NWSL-leading 11 goals for the season.

Of course, she also made history with a never-before-seen shot across the Missouri River.

Chawinga is one of 17 players to score goals this season for the Current, who lead the NWSL with 39 goals this season. The next closest team is the Washington Spirit with 29.

After finishing second to last in the NWSL regular season last year, the Current now lead the league with a 10-5-0 record. However, they will face their biggest challenge next Saturday, with a highly anticipated clash against the also undefeated Orlando Pride.
