SportsBeat KC

A new team and season begin tonight. The Kansas City entry in the National Women’s Soccer League opens Challenge Cup play at Portland, Ore. Kansas City had a successful run in the NWSL from 2013-2017, winning two championships. The team then relocated to Utah for three years.

But Kansas City is back in the league under new ownership and with some familiar names like Amy Rodriguez and Coach Huw Williams, who was the general manager and assistant coach of the previous team in KC.

On today’s SportsBeat KC, Aly Trost, who serves as a host and reporter for the team in addition to her duties as an on-air talent and digitial manager at WHB 810, joins beat writer Shaun Goodwin and host Blair Kerkhoff previewing the team and season.

After a break, the discussion turns to Sporting KC and the elevation of homegrown signee Kaveh Rad.
