If Utah Royals coach Laura Harvey knew before launching a new NWSL team that her squad would reach the international break with just two losses, she would have been thrilled.
“I think anyone would,” Harvey said after training Tuesday. “I think that the disappointing thing is that we haven’t really played at a level that we think we are capable of. So that’s something that drives us every day, which actually is a nice thing.”
On their way out of the international break, about halfway through the season, the Royals (3-2-5, 10 points) sit at sixth in the league.
