Sporting Kansas City II goalkeeper Brooks Thompson has reached the final round of voting for the USL Championship's Fans' Choice Save of the Year. His superb reaction stop on July 18 kept out Nick Moon's header from point-blank range in a narrow 2-1 loss at Indy Eleven as the Indiana native made a career-high nine saves on the night. Thompson's brilliant stop is now up against Charleston Battery's Joe Kuzminsky in the championship round of the online bracket with fan voting open until 11 a.m. CT on Tuesday.
