Under Pressure
Saturday’s match will be the first time Utah Royals FC have been opponents since Amy Rodriguez scored a stoppage-time stunner to rob Sky Blue FC of their first win of the 2018 season. New Jersey entered the match on a record-setting 18-game winless streak and after 90 minutes and two goals from former Sky Blue forward Katie Johnson it looked as if that streak may have finally been snapped with a 2-1 victory. But, with the seconds dwindling down, a miscommunication in the box led to Christen Press passing the ball to Rodriguez at the top of the box who proceeded to fire the ball into the back of the net to earn a hard fought point on the road, the match ended seconds later, stealing their chance a victory.
