Now that she’s fully healthy and reintegrated into the lineup, the goals just seem to keep on coming for the reigning MVP of the National Women’s Soccer League.
Temwa Chawinga scored twice Friday night as the Kansas City Current shut out the visiting Houston Dash 3-0 at CPKC Stadium along the KC riverfront.
Chawinga was coming off a hat trick performance in the Current’s previous game: On Sunday at CPKC Stadium, the Current blanked the Chicago Stars 3-0.
The offense is clearly flowing for her now — not to mention the club — after offseason surgery for a hip adductor injury she suffered last October. She has now scored five goals in two games in the span of less than a week.
Chawinga’s Friday night strikes came in the 16th and 67th minutes. An own-goal charged to Dash keeper Jane Campbell accounted for the Current’s final tally.
Up next: The Current hits the road Wednesday for a midweek NWSL match at Angel City in L.A. That one starts at 9 p.m. Central Time. Then it’s back home to play host to the Portland Thorns at noon on Sunday, May 24.
