Continuing to play in every minute of every match this season, Summit keeper Abby Smith walked away with five saves on the night, her second most this season, solidifying the top spot in the league in goals prevented (6.0).

For the third consecutive match, Denver sold out DICK's Sporting Goods Park, welcoming 16,833 fans to Commerce City ... after Friday's match, the Summit continues to boast the league's highest average attendance on the season (28,436).
