SANDY, Utah (Friday, June 8, 2017) – Real Monarchs SLC (10-1-0, 30 points, 1st West / 1st Overall in USL) continue their 2017 campaign this weekend with a Saturday contest against Portland Timbers 2. The 7:00 p.m. MT kickoff gives Head Coach Mark Briggs’ team a chance to extend its active seven-game win streak – a new record for the third-year club and just one away from matching the all-time USL record set by Orlando – and improve on the club’s perfect 5-0-0 mark at Rio Tinto Stadium this season.



A special “4 for $40” ticket package is available for this Monarchs game; the Rio Tinto Stadium box office is open Mon.-Fri., 10a-6p; more information can be found online at www.RSL.com/Tickets. Current or interested RSL Royalty Season Ticket Members can purchase extra tickets at preferred pricing or gain assistance via the Fan Relations Hotline at 801-727-2702.



Last weekend, the Monarchs saw what proved to be the game-winning goal from FW Chandler Hoffman just 55 seconds into the game at Orange County, while GK Connor Sparrow stopped a penalty kick to preserve the clean sheet in the 1-0 win. The PK save was Sparrow’s second of the young season, while the shutout was his third and the team’s fourth of 2017.



Now in the club’s third season, the Monarchs are re-writing their own record books every time out. A year ago, the 10th win was not reached until September 17, while the inaugural 2015 season saw just seven total wins. In its first two seasons, Real Monarchs SLC had totaled just six wins combined in April, May and June, prior to 10 – and counting – this season.
