The stakes could not be higher for Reign FC, who face off against the Utah Royals on Wednesday evening. The two sides enter the match even on points. The winner of Wednesday’s battle will step into a playoff position. The loser will have a lot more fighting to do.
The game kicks off at 7 PM PT at Cheney Stadium. Reign FC will have centerback Lauren Barnes back after her one-game suspension due to yellow card accumulation. The Royals, meanwhile, have been hit with an injury bug (been there, done that), and key players like Christen Press, Vero Boquete, and Kelley O’Hara are doubtful or out.
