Jack and Sheila Weinberg Head Men's Soccer Coach Jamie Franks:
Jamie Franks is in his seventh season as the bench boss for the Pioneers and his 10^th on the Denver campus overall. The head coach of the 2016 National Coaching Staff of the Year has put together a 81-28-14 record and has led Denver to all but two of the league trophies available (2019 regular season and 2017 postseason) since Denver joined the Summit League in 2013.

Series History: Denver vs. Stanford:
The Pioneers are 0-5-0 all-time against Stanford, including 0-1 in Denver in a 1999 match that finished 5-2. In the two most recent meetings in Palo Alto, the Pioneers lost 1-0 in extra time in 2018 and 2-0 in 2019.  

Last Time Out:
Virginia scored on its only shot on goal in the first 80 minutes to take a 1-0 lead in the first half, but the Pioneers got an equalizer from Kengo Ohira in the 80^th minute and an extra time winner from Destan Norman in the 95^th to take the Pioneers past the Cavaliers on Monday night at Klockner Stadium. Liam Johnson made a save-saving diving header in the 87^th minute to keep the match level and take it to extra time.
