[10/16] Denver Heads to St. Thomas Saturday

The Pioneers dip back into Summit League play for third time this weekend

WHO: [10/16] Denver (7-2-2, 2-0-0 Summit League) at St. Thomas (2-7-1, 1-0-0 Summit League)  
WHAT: Match 12 of the 2022 Season
WHERE: South Field (St. Paul, Minn.)
WHEN: Saturday, October 8, at 12 p.m. CT/11 a.m. MT 

LAST TIME OUT:
In his first match back since opening night, Lukas Fisher converted from the penalty spot after Ian Smith was fouled in the penalty area, and Denver kept its third-straight cleansheet in a 1-0 win for the Pioneers over [21/14] Virginia on Tuesday night in Charlottesville. FULL RECAP

QUICK HITS:

  • Denver won the first meeting with St. Thomas 3-1 a year ago at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium. Stefan DeLeone (8'), Ben Smith (10') and Fisher (70') all scored in last year's win.     
  • Denver has student-athletes from 12 different states and four other countries. The 12 states represented is Denver's most on a single roster in its Division I history.
  • The Crimson and Gold have 10 players from the state of Colorado, including regular starters Sam Bassett, Stefan DeLeone, captain Liam Johnson, Isaac Nehme, Ben Smith, captain Ian Smith and
    Trevor Wright.
  • Denver is 4-2-2 in the first eight matches vs. last season's RPI top-100. The Pioneers will round out their nine-match slate against the top-100 next Monday at Pitt.

Up Next: Denver will close out its four-match road swing with a visit to Pitt on Monday at 5 p.m. MT. The match will be broadcast live on ACC Network Xtra.
