SALT LAKE CITY — Utah women’s soccer player Katie Rogers loves summers in the Beehive state.
A New Jersey native, the fifth-year senior central defender enjoys the weather, the outdoors and the high-intensity training at altitude.
And a chance to win a title is nice, too.
Rogers and her summer team Real Salt Lake Women wrap up their first regular season the semipro United Women’s Soccer league Thursday when they host the Colorado Storm (1-3-2) at 6 p.m. MT at East High School. A win would give RSL (3-2-2) a vital three points, putting the Salt Lake outfit in the driver’s seat for a Western Conference title with a five-point lead on second-place Houston for the top spot in the division.
