Kansas City Current blank Houston Dash to win 2nd straight at NWSL Challenge Cup

The Kansas City Current scored three of their NWSL Challenge Cup-leading six goals en route to a 3-0 win over the Houston Dash.

Taylor Leach got the Current on the board just two minutes in, while Kristen Hamilton and Lo'eau LaBonta rounded out the scoring for Kansas City.

Winnipeg native Desiree Scott played 81 minutes for the Current in the win, who sit atop the Central division with seven points.

The Chicago Red Stars earned one point in their scoreless Wednesday night draw with Racing Louisville FC to jump ahead of the Dash into second in the division.

The Red Stars will host the Houston Dash in Chicago Saturday night, while Racing Louisville FC will travel to Kansas City to play the Current on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Stars defeated the Dash 3-1 the first time they met, whereas Louisville tied the Current 1-1 in their first clash.

Portland FC was dominant in their 3-0 win against Angel City FC, improving their West division-best record to 2-0-1.

Legendary Canadian star Christine Sinclair did not suit up for Portland on Wednesday, but Sophia Smith, Morgan Weaver and Yazmeen Ryan - with her first professional goal - picked up the offence, all finding the scoresheet.
