On Saturday against Sky Blue FC, Katie Stengel made her 5th start for Utah Royals FC and played 83 minutes. It was a game in which Christen Press scored her first goal as a Utah Royal, but it was Stengel who scored a brace and became Utah’s leading goal scorer for the season with three goals.
Head coach Laura Harvey praised Stengel’s performance after the game:
“I thought the whole game, while she was on, she was very good. Christen and Amy are going to get their own limelight, and that’s how it is, but what Katie is doing really is anytime she is asked to play, whether it’s off the bench or subbed in, she has had impact.
