FC Kansas City and Sydney Leroux hadn’t generated much on the attacking end entering Saturday’s match against the Washington Spirit, but a 3-2 victory for Leroux’s side - with the USWNT star scoring a brace - was the perfect remedy before a string of tough matches against the likes of North Carolina, Seattle and Portland.
Leroux made it three goals in seven games with Kansas City since returning after the birth of her and Dom Dwyer’s first child back in January of 2016. Leroux’s strong performance against Washington saw her awarded the NWSL’s Player of the Week honors for Week 7.
