The all time leading scorer for Kansas City NWSL teams has called time on their playing career. Amy Rodriguez, who scored 20 goals in league play for FC Kansas City and two goals for the now Kansas City Current. She added another eight in the playoffs and the Challenge Cup. It was announced this past week that Rodriguez would be leaving the game of professional soccer as she has taken a job with her alma mater the University of Southern California as an assistant coach with their women’s soccer team.
