SANDY, Utah (Saturday, June 15, 2019) – Utah Royals FC (5-2-1, 16 points) returned from the brief World Cup break, but didn’t miss a beat in getting back to its winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Sky Blue FC on Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.
URFC got an early goal from FW Amy Rodriguez, her fifth of the season, and GK Nicole Barnhart made five saves for her fifth shutout of the season.
