For Kristen Edmonds, any game on the road against Sky Blue FC feels like a trip back home.
She eats a game day breakfast at Bagel Pantry, the spot in her hometown of Matuchen that she claims makes the best bagels in New Jersey. Typically, she competes on Yurcak Field, the pitch where she played four seasons for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. And after the final whistle, she greets friends and family — most important, her parents.
Sunday’s game, however, was a little different. Sky Blue successfully moved the match to Red Bull Arena, garnering a crowd of more than 8,000 fans.
