Today will be the second meeting in less than a month against the Houston Dash. On April 26, Kansas City opened its inaugural home season at Children’s Mercy Park against Houston in the 2021 NWSL Challenge Cup. The Dash spoiled the home opener, winning 3-1.
One Kansas City player to watch is midfielder Victoria Pickett, from Ottawa, Canada, who created scoring opportunities in the match against Racing Louisville.
Kansas City coach Huw Williams said that Victoria Pickett “continues to play at a high level in the midfield and makes dangerous runs into the attack.”
On Tuesday, Kansas City announced the signing of first-round draft pick Kiki Pickett through the 2023 season. Kiki Pickett was selected No. 4 overall in the 2021 NWSL draft by Kansas City. Pickett, from Santa Clara, California, returned to Stanford to compete in the Cardinals’ spring season. Pickett has been training with Kansas City since May 11.
