SANDY, Utah (Friday, June 17, 2016) – Real Monarchs SLC (4-6-4, 16 pts) are back in action Saturday night at Orange County Blues, with an 8:00 p.m. MT kickoff. Head Coach Freddy Juarez’ road-weary team had captured eight road points in six matches prior to dropping back-to-back one-goal decisions against Sacramento last week.
Recent road performances had given the Monarchs a lift entering the back half of a seemingly interminable road swing, with Saturday’s match the ninth in a run of 11 consecutive games away from Rio Tinto Stadium. Two of the matches – including last Saturday’s Reno-hosted match – are considered “Monarchs On Tour” home games, as the Monarchs return to Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday, July 2, hosting Vancouver Whitecaps 2 at 7:00 p.
