Angel City FC’s Savy King hospitalized after collapsing on field vs. Utah

LOS ANGELES — Angel City defender Savy King collapsed on the field and medical staff appeared to do chest compressions on her before she was carted off during a 2-0 victory over Utah on Friday night at BMO Stadium.

Angel City first assistant coach Eleri Earnshaw, who was filling in for interim coach Sam Laity, told reporters after the match that King, 20, was transported to a local hospital, evaluated and is responsive.

“Her family is with her, as is our medical staff, so she’s in good hands,” Earnshaw said.
