SANDY, UT (Friday, June 29, 2018) – Utah Royals FC (4-3-6, 18 pts., NWSL 6th place) remain home at Rio Tinto Stadium Saturday night to host winless Sky Blue FC (0-9-3, 3 pts, 9th place) in the second match of a double-game week. The critical home contest arrives on the heels of Wednesday’s 0-0 draw with Seattle, a game that saw Utah outshoot the Reign 18-7 in the Wasatch Front debut for USWNT FW Christen Press.
Kicking off at 8:00 p.m. MT Saturday, Utah v. Sky Blue FC will air on KMYU, the RSL on KSL app, KSL.com and ESPN700 AM, with Greg Wrubell and Carla Haslam on the call, immediately following Major League Soccer coverage of Real Salt Lake at Columbus (which kicks off the five-hour Utah soccer block at 5:00 p.m. MT).
Wednesday’s scoreless draw at home kicked off a run that sees Utah play four of six games at home from June 27 to July 20, as part of a second-half of its inaugural campaign where Rio Tinto Stadium hosts seven of the club’s final 12 games. Utah remains in the thick of the NWSL playoff race as one of six teams within five points of each other, chasing the final three postseason berths. Should URFC capture a top-four seed, it would become the league’s first-ever side to reach the playoffs in its inaugural year.
Next week, HC Laura Harvey’s side does the Pacific Northwest “double” at Seattle (Fri., July 6) and Portland (Wed., July 11) before returning to the RioT on July 14 against Alex Morgan and Orlando and July 20 against North Carolina. Tickets for all home games are available at www.UtahRoyalsFC.com/Tickets or by calling 844.Real.Tix.
