"The Kansas City Current set a new NWSL record for points in a season on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Gotham FC at CPKC Stadium. Kansas City's 62 points eclipses the record of 60 points set by the Orlando Pride last year. The Current still have two more games to play in the regular season. A Bia Zaneratto header gave the home side the lead at half-time before NWSL scoring leader Temwa Chawinga came off the bench to double the Current's lead in the second half."
"The team's 20 victories are two more than the record that was set last year by both Orlando and the Washington Spirit. The Current have already set several other records this season. They clinched the NWSL Shield faster than any team in league history by percentage of games played, securing the trophy 21 games into the 26-game season. Kansas City also set a new league record last month by going 870 consecutive minutes -- over nine full matches -- without conceding a goal."
Kansas City Current finished a regular-season match with a 2-0 win over Gotham FC to reach 62 points, a new NWSL single-season high with two regular-season games remaining.

The Current recorded 20 victories, two more than last season's record, clinched the NWSL Shield earliest by percentage of games played at 21 of 26, posted 870 consecutive scoreless minutes, and remain unbeaten in 17 straight league matches while entering the playoffs as the No. 1 seed.
