KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Trinity Byars scored a pair of goals, including the
equalizer at the end of regulation, and the San Diego Wave played to a 2-2 draw
with the Kansas City Current on Friday night.
Temwa Chawinga and Croix Bethune scored for Kansas City, which saw its 10-game
regular-season winning streak at home come to an end. Kansas City (8-6-1) still
has a 23-match undefeated streak at CPKC Stadium.

Byars scored her first in the sixth minute. Bethune tied it up for Kansas City
with a volley off a cross from Laney Rouse early in the second half.
Chawinga, back in the starting lineup after missing the Current's last match
with an illness, put Kansas City in front in the 60th, with an assist from
Bethune. Chawinga has nine goals this season, tied for second in the league.
Byars added the final goal in the 90th, sliding the ball into the goal after a
scramble in front of the net. It was her sixth f the season.
Kansas City had won their last five games against the Wave.
