QUICK HITS:

• With the draw at St. Thomas on Thursday, Denver has officially clinched a spot in the Summit League tournament field.
• With an assist on S. Dreiling's equalizer at UST, redshirt junior Hannah Tate became the seventh Pioneer with at least one goal and at least one assist this season.
• S. Dreiling's equalizer at 87:23 on Thursday was the seventh latest in DU's NCAA Division I history and its latest since an 89:00 leveling goal against Sunday's opponent, Omaha, in the 2023 Summit League semifinals.
• Redshirt junior Alina Santos made six saves at St. Thomas, bringing her season total to 73 and just two away from registering in the top 10 in Denver's DI history for most single-season saves.
• Denver's 19 shot attempts and eight shots on goal at UST were both just one off the team's season highs.
• Santos has been called up to the New Zealand Women's National Team for three friendlies against Mexico and the United States beginning next week.
  • She is expected to miss Denver's regular-season finale on October 26 but return to the squad in time for the Summit League tournament.
