Rookie Tziarra King came off the bench and scored her first National Women’s Soccer League goal Tuesday to pull the Utah Royals into a 3-3 draw with the Houston Dash in the Challenge Cup tournament in Herriman, Utah. Rachel Daly scored a pair of goals as the Dash built a 3-1 lead but the Royals came back with late goals from Vero Boquete and King in the match played without fans at Zions Bank Stadium. The NWSL is the first US professional team sports league to play amid the pandemic. The league was shut down on March 12 before the regular season had started. Diana Matheson took a feed from Amy Rodriguez and slotted it for a goal in the 35th minute to give the Royals the early lead. Matheson missed last season with a foot injury that also kept her off Canada’s squad for the World Cup. Daly tied it at 1-all in first-half stoppage time. Her second goal was a header off a corner kick in the 47th minute. She appeared to get the hat trick in the 61st minute but the official said it was not a goal. As in Saturday’s Challenge Cup openers, the players wore “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts during warm-ups. Nearly every player knelt when the national anthem was played. But unlike Saturday, players were given the option of remaining in the locker room for the anthem. The rule was changed following criticism of some players who stood during the anthem before the opening games

College football museum to reopen
The College Football Hall of Fame will reopen Wednesday, seeking to start its comeback from a 3½-month shutdown because of the pandemic. A new exhibit on Historically Black Colleges and Universities will debut when the Hall reopens, featuring the history, traditions, and legends of HBCU football programs.
