SALT LAKE CITY — Three Utah Royals FC players were honored in a special way for their contribution to the U.S. Women's National Team's victory at the 2019 World Cup.

Mayors Jackie Biskupski and Jenny Wilson spoke to a cheering crowd before presenting "Keys to the City" to Christen Press, Kelley O’Hara and Becky Sauerbrunn.
