After a pair of road contests out east the last two weekends, RSL will return home to a full slate this week with a pair of contests against California-based sides. The team will prepare for Wednesday’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play-in contest against the San Jose Earthquakes with a Monday afternoon practice at XanGo Field in Lehi and a Tuesday morning session at Rice-Eccles Stadium, and will repeat that schedule on Thursday and Friday while preparing for the lone visit of the season to Salt Lake City by David Beckham, Landon Donovan, and the rest of the Los Angeles Galaxy.
