Sandy • The 2018 season for the Utah Royals FC was full of the ups and downs that many an expansion team experience in their first year. But through it all, they finished within reach of a playoff spot.
Heading into this season, with their home opener coming next Saturday due to a bye week, the Royals have their eyes set on definitely making the playoffs.
“Anything less than playoffs is not a success,” Royals coach Laura Harvey said this past week. “There’s no question in my mind of that.”
The Royals ended 2018 with a 9-7-8 record and just two points shy of the fourth and final playoff spot in the nine-team National Women’s Soccer League.
