The free weekly email from The 5280 Pitch. Denver Summit FC results, the numbers behind them, the quotes you didn't hear, and where to be on match day.
The result and the stats that explain it. Shots, touches in the box, final-third passes, expected goals. Then what it changed in the table, and what it didn't.
The stats, the stories, and the conversations. Sit-down interviews, postgame reactions, and the numbers behind every performance.
Who trained, who didn't, who's starting in goal and what that tells you. The lineup notes and injury news that don't make headlines but decide matches.
Most Summit coverage stops at the score. This is the newsletter that starts there. Every week: the result, the numbers behind it, what the players and Head Coach Nick Cushing actually said, and what it all means before the next kickoff.
You'll also get the next match every week. Who we play, when, what channel, home or away. And if I'm doing a pregame somewhere, you'll know where to find me.
Subscribers get a discount on every piece of merch in the shop, too. It applies itself at checkout from a button in each issue.
Season ticket holders, couch supporters, first-time NWSL fans, and anyone in Colorado who wants this team covered the way every other Denver team gets covered.
You were there on match day and you still want to know why it went the way it did.
You catch every match on TV and want the lineup news and injury notes before kickoff, not after.
You are new to the NWSL and nobody has explained the table, the playoff line, or why this week matters.
You are tired of finding out about Summit news three days late from a national outlet.
Kate Hanson has covered Denver Summit FC every week since the club's first month. A journalism major with years on air at 850 KOA and in Denver sports television, she hosts The 5280 Pitch, the weekly show that takes every Summit match apart with the numbers and puts it back together with what the players and Nick Cushing actually said. She has sat down with the players who decide these matches, and can usually be found at Centennial Stadium with a pocket full of stickers.
Kate is a Colorado native and a soccer mom. She takes this team as seriously as you do.
