SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Kansas City Current forward Temwa Chawinga won the National Women's Soccer League's Most Valuable Player award for the second straight season on Wednesday, becoming the first player in league history to win back-to-back MVP awards. Chawinga received the award at the San Jose Civic Center as part of the NWSL's first formal awards show in its 12-season history.

When the dust settled the 29-year-old from Columbia, South Carolina, had achieved a quadrafecta no player in the NBA or WNBA had ever managed: winning the scoring title, the Most Valuable Player award, Defensive Player of the Year honors and MVP of the finals in the same year.
