Sky Blue FC faced off against FC Kansas City and saw the equal contest end in a 1-1 tie.  Other than earning a point, Sky Blue’s biggest moment came in the 75th minute when Sam Kerr entered the game for the first time all season as she was recovering from her ankle surgery.  Kerr seemed to not miss a beat as she created a few offensive chances and even had a shot attempt in the game.
