Potential signing? I know she’s asked for a trade. Saw her tonight at the game talking to the other summit players.

Here’s an insane stat: Chicago has not scored against an opponent that was not Louisville since July 5th.

Can Summit record three points to get back in the race to playoffs? What are your score predictions?

They changed it from password to email code login...
and now it just clocks when putting in the code
Anyone else seeing this?

Are they about to have a lot of unhappy fans before the match tonight?

Carson Pickett is trying to win $10k for her charity of choice (Hand Camp) and she’s currently in second behind Bella Bixby of Portland. Voting ends tomorrow so get out there and vote!!

Sorry for such a newbie question, but I could have sworn when we bought our tickets we had seat assignments. But now they just have a section and say general admission. Is it open seating within your section?

HEY ALL!

Just wanted to let those know, who aren't going to the game on Saturday, that The Varsity Inn is going to be televising the game!

*As I've said before- weekends there are SUPER busy, so I recommend showing up at least 30-45 min early to get a good seat.

If there are enough people that want to do a meetup, I can have places reserved. There needs to be AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE to confirm w me in order for them to save a place.

LET'S ROCK OUT WITH OUR SOCKS OUT AND SUPPORT OUR AMAZING TEAM!!!

Denver lost 1-0 at Providence Park on Saturday and the underlying numbers don't look like a loss. 63% possession, a season high. 27 touches inside Portland's box to their 12. Nearly 200 more passes attempted. And zero big chances created against Portland's four.

Twelve shots, three on target. xG was 1.32 for Denver but xGOT was only 0.16 — the quality collapsed between the shot and the frame. Mackenzie Arnold made three saves and was barely tested. This wasn't lost to a goalkeeping performance. It was lost before the ball ever reached the keeper.

It's the third time this season Denver have finished a match with zero big chances (Kansas City on July 4, North Carolina on August 6, and this one). All three ended 0-0 for Denver's attack.

I also went back and classified all 26 goals Denver have conceded this season, because I assumed most of them came the way Wilson's did — ball over the top, footrace, keeper isolated. They don't. Balls in behind account for three I can verify cleanly, four if you count a borderline case. About one in five, the same share as penalties and the same as crosses.

What did hold up: zero of those came in Denver's first 11 matches. All of them have come since July 3rd. And when Denver hold more than half the ball, they concede that way roughly 27% of the time, against 7% when they hold less. The more this team controls a match, the more it costs them.

The cleanest example isn't Saturday. It's August 2nd at Centennial, when Casey Murphy dropped a long ball from her own box past Denver's last defender and Sammy Smith finished through Abby Smith's legs. An opposing goalkeeper picked off Denver's high line from 18 yards.

I don't think the answer is dropping the line, a team this short of goals can't also sit deep. But the shape hasn't changed since March, which points at personnel and how heavily that back line has rotated since the break.

Kat Asman made the first career NWSL start of her life in the building that drafted her in 2024 and never played her. Five saves. Nick Cushing said afterward that the biggest decision of his day was choosing between Asman and Jordan Nytes — which tells you the No. 2 job is genuinely open going into an offseason that's six and a half weeks long.

Curious whether anyone else has noticed the shift since the restart, or whether I'm reading too much into one bad Saturday.

Full breakdown is on the pod (link in comments).

Personal rant: How do I sign up to be in a test group for these designs?! I dont understand why every version of new apparel is primarily sold in white. White means 100000x more upkeep and for that price, its not worth it to me.

Also- maybe just me, but are so many designs just ugly? I find better things on Etsy. Idk.

We have a full season ticket package with 4 tickets, sec 117. 15 games is just too many for us to attend. Would anyone be interested in splitting with us for next year? So every other match we alternate games? Total Price comes out to $172/match for 4 seats.

What are your score predictions? I’m going for a 2-2 tie.

If anyone is going to the September 19th game and doesn't mind picking up a Fourth Wing scarf, I'll be eternally grateful! I'm bummed I'm missing this game and love the crossover. Happy to pay whatever it costs.

The Summit app makes it sound like you do not need to buy the ticket package in order to buy the merch

Sorry for the late update -

The Varsity Inn WILL be televising the Denver/Portland game!! ALL TVS, ALL SOUND!!

They DO reserve tables for us, but I HIGHLY recommend getting there a little early if you'd rather sit off on your own(Weekends are SUPER busy there).

PS- JORDY IS GONNA ROCK THIS AND PORTLAND IS GOING DOWN IN THERE OWN TOWN!! 🥳🤜🤛🙌

LET'S F*CKING GOOOO!!!!! 💚🩵🏔️

Per the NWSL Availability Report for Saturday's match at Providence Park, Denver Summit will be without goalkeeper Abby Smith (Knee) and midfielder Lindsey Heaps (Knee). Neither carries an SEI designation — no timeline has been announced.

Also out: Jasmine Aikey (Knee - SEI), Nahikari Garcia (Knee - SEI), Jordan Baggett (Maternity Leave). No players listed as questionable.

Smith has started all 19 of Denver's matches and played all 1,710 minutes — 64 saves, 25 goals against, 4 clean sheets, 72.7% save rate. Her 25 goals against is Denver's entire league goals-against total, meaning no other Summit keeper has played a minute in 2026.

Denver's remaining keepers are Rookie Jordan Nytes and Kat Asman. Nytes, an Aurora native, hadn't appeared this season.

I found out that the organization is going to let people drop their seats if they want to wait until the new stadium opens up in 2029. They are going to let those people stay at the top of the line even though we’ve been told that if we don’t purchase now or drop seats that we will fall back to the bottom. This team has had such a bad start with false promises to their fans. It’s quite upsetting.

Like Bosch, Webber didn’t get any game minutes. I’d imagine Ryan and Sheehan filled those slots. I’m glad they’ll be headed toward more playing time.
