A Unique Road to the Professional Field

In just a few short months Utah Royals FC rookies Kate Del Fava and Tziarra King have made a name for themselves in the National Women’s Soccer League, complete with their own Stan accounts on Twitter.

The rookie duo played a combined 385 minutes through five matches in the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup presented by P&G and Secret, with Del Fava starting three of them as part of the squad’s newly-implemented three-back system.

King headed her way into fan’s hearts in the first match of the tournament when she scored the equalizing goal against Houston Dash, making her one of just a handful of players to score in their rookie debut in the history of the league.
