RSL Quick Kicks
- Real Salt Lake’s traveling contingent will be made available to members of the media this afternoon upon arrival at the Salt Lake City International Airport, with the team set to arrive in the Delta Terminal at approximately 3:45 p.m. Media looking for interviews are asked to contact John Koluder in the RSL Communications Department at 801-918-5050 for updates on the team’s travel schedule Sunday afternoon.
- Last night’s win pulled Real Salt Lake even with the Galaxy in their all-time series across all competitions, the squads now an even 8-8-6 in their 24 regular season and post-season matchups. The fourth road win against Los Angeles marks the most against any MLS side for RSL and broke LA’s 18-game undefeated streak at The Home Depot Center that dated back to November of 2010.
- Fans can be on the lookout for the full slate of “Real Week 2012” activities that kick off tomorrow in the upcoming hours on RealSaltLake.com.
