    Today’s Royal Riot episode recaps the Utah Royals’ first win of the season — a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Stars, sealed by a clutch, last-minute penalty from Ally Sentnor!

    On today’s episode, we’re joined by one of the newest members of the Royal Riot crew — Yiwen (@ProfHelix24)! A longtime Royals and RSL fan, talented artist, and now the creative mind behind our social media, Yiwen hops on to help us break down the 1-0 home loss to Portland. We dig into our takeaways, frustrations, and more from the first four matches — with injuries piling up and just one point on the board, it’s been another tough start to the season. We also preview Friday’s crucial matchup against Chicago and discuss the changes we’d like to see — hoping for tactical adjustments, a morale boost, and most importantly, more points on the board.

  • URFC: Chatting Contracts & Culture with Connor 'Toby' Oniki
    Apr 11 2025

    Royal Riot is joined by special guest Connor Oniki, Assistant Sporting Director for the Utah Royals — otherwise known as Royal Riot's number one fan, Toby! A longtime Royals and RSL fan, Utah local, and self-proclaimed CBA and salary-cap nerd, Connor brings a unique blend of legal expertise and club loyalty to the front office. After studying law and starting out as an intern with the club, Connor quickly worked his way into key roles — providing legal counsel for both teams and playing an instrumental part in the effort to bring the Royals back to Utah — before growing into his current role alongside Kelly Cousins. We talk about his experience at the final NWSL entry draft in 2024, demystify allocation money and contract nuances, and break down key items from the new CBA.
