Goalkeeper Sandy MacIver made two saves as the Spirit (0-3-1, 3 points) remained winless.

Utah Royals 2, Boston Legacy FC 1

Lara Prasnikar's penalty kick early in the second half proved to be the difference as the Royals prevailed in Foxborough, Mass., for their first victory of the season.

Tatumn Milazzo's first-half goal put Utah ahead and Prasnikar pushed the margin to 2-0 five minutes into the second half following Anni Karich's foul in the penalty area.

Aissata Traore scored in the 72nd minute for Legacy (0-0-3, 0 points), which had been shut out in their first two matches of the season. There were 40 total fouls called in the game, with 25 on Boston.
