Sandy, Utah (Saturday October 7, 2017) – Real Monarchs (19-5-7, 64 points) clinched the best record in the USL regular season on Saturday in front of the third-biggest crowd in club history. With 8,402 in attendance at Rio Tinto Stadium, the Monarchs got an early goal from MF Sebastian Velasquez and held on for a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2. That result alone would have sealed the regular season title, but the Monarchs clinched the championship when San Antonio FC tied the Tampa Bay Rowdies 1-1 in a game that finished near the 70th minute of the match in Sandy.
