Katie Bowen, Desiree Scott and Rachel Corsie hadn’t worn a Utah Royals FC uniform in nearly two months. They all were away with their respective national teams competing in the Women’s World Cup.
But on Friday, Bowen, Scott and Corsie donned their club jerseys again after recently returning from international duty. The trio talked about how excited they were to be back with the Royals after their World Cup dreams were cut short during the tournament.
But their return was spoiled Friday against Sky Blue FC. Utah came into the matchup with the opportunity not only to grab a league-leading six wins, but also to take its place atop the National Women’s Soccer League standings.
