Cheney Stadium was the stage once again for Reign FC on Sunday. Some 72 hours after their massive win over rival Portland Thorns FC, Vlatko Andonovski’s squad hosted the Utah Royals FC and their familiar coach (and Reign FC’s inaugural head coach) Laura Harvey.
The Sunday afternoon affair saw goals for both sides, but Harvey’s squad scored more goals than Reign FC and took all the points in their first visit to Cheney Stadium.
Utah opened the scoring in the 3rd minute when Amy Rodriguez went down the right flank, nutmegged Reign FC defender Lauren Barnes and got off a shot that hit the woodwoork.
