FC Kansas City wins NWSL title

? Lauren Holiday celebrated the final game of her career with another title.

The midfielder, who won the Women’s World Cup with the U.S. national team this summer, won a second straight National Women’s Soccer League championship with FC Kansas City on Thursday night.

Her good friend and teammate Amy Rodriguez scored on a header in the 78th minute, giving the Blues a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Reign.

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” Holiday told the cheering crowd at Providence Park afterward.

Holiday announced plans to step away from the game in July, shortly after the United States won the World Cup, but she vowed to first finish out the season with her NWSL club.

Her final victory came in dramatic fashion: Rodriguez scored off a cross from Heather O’Reilly in the 78th minute.

The Blues also played the Reign in the championship match last season, with Kansas City coming out on top 2-1.
