HERRIMAN, Utah (Friday, July 5, 2024) - Utah Royals FC (2-11-2, 8 pts, 14th NWSL) hit the road for one last time to take on Seattle Reign (2-9-4, 10 pts, 13th NWSL) on July 7, 2024 before a six week break from league play.
The Royals look to turn their 0-0 draw against Portland Thorns into three points against another cascadian rival in Seattle Reign. Newly named Interim Head Coach Jimmy Coenraets looks to find Utah Royals third win of the season with his first time at the reins. The performance against Portland was one of the best of the season for the Royals, effectively limiting USWNT forward Sophia Smith.
