Sandy • At the start of the week, Chris Wingert said Mike Petke gathered his team and told his players that just because Real Salt Lake dominated in its 3-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps last Saturday doesn't mean that RSL is suddenly out of the woods after such a trying start.
"This win does not mean that we've arrived and we're this phenomenal force now," Petke told reporters this week, "but it's a step in the right direction."
"We've still got a long way to go," Wingert said.
But Petke kept circling back to a word he reiterated must be part of the equation — especially defensively — if RSL is continue to wade through the ongoing rash of injuries to its back line.
