The Utah Royals FC hit the ground running against the Orlando Pride in Florida last Saturday, March 24, leaving with a 1-1 draw. MF Gunny Jonsdottir —who bagged the NWSL’s goal of the week — connected with FW Diana Matheson's stellar cross at top of the sixth yard box & pushed it past USWNT GK Ashlyn Harris for the first goal in club history. A controversial hand ball by DF Becky Sauerbrunn led to Orlando’s MF Marta finding an equalizer on a penalty kick later in the first half. However, URFC’s stellar performance didn't go unnoticed around the league.
