Sandy • With their home opener just days away, Utah Royals FC are looking forward to getting off on the right foot. After finishing just shy of the playoffs last season with a 9-7-8 record, coach Laura Harvey believes her team didn’t play up to its capability until the last three weeks of 2018.
So when the Royals get their 2019 season going on Saturday against the Washington Spirit — a campaign in which the team has the playoffs in its sights — three points will be the focus. But it won’t be long after that when URFC starts losing its best players due to international duty for the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup.
