While parts of the Royals’ season was certainly promising and it appeared that they would surely contend for a National Women’s Soccer League title, the season ended in disappointment for the club. After Saturday’s game, which was one of best wins for Utah in recent memory, the players weren’t shy in expressing their frustration.
So it stands to reason that, after two seasons of failing to reach a goal of making the playoffs, something has to change with the Royals. But what?
It likely won’t be the coach. Laura Harvey herself said she won’t be the next leading woman for the United States Women’s National team and expects to be in Utah next season.
