Kansas City Current at Utah Royals
Kansas City Current travels to Utah to face the Royals. It will be Ally Sentnor’s first visit against her former team. A talented young player getting a new start with a top team could igniote some offesne for both her and the already powerful Kansas City.
The Current have been very business-like in games, scoring a couple of goals and shutting teams down.

Wow, not used to seeing the Current play in front of 13 fans and the hot dog vendor.
Glad Del Fava buys tickets to give away or it would be worse.
On one hand their record stinks and they just gave up their most exciting player for no current tangible benefit – on the other, they’ve been really scrappy. It was jarring to see an empty stadium though.
Just another reminder of how awesome it is that we have the best atmosphere in the league/best team in the league/best player in the world.
