How it Happened:
6' Alex Notzka got in behind the Denver defense, but pulled the first real chance in behind and out for a goal kick.
16' Denver earned the first corner of the night just after the quarter hour mark. Hudson Tate played it near the far post just on top of the six-yard box, but Bryce Willoughby's glancing header was wide of the post.
20' A deflected cross fell to the feet of Tate 25 yards out. Tate took a couple of touches and got it on his right foot and fired Denver's fourth shot of the night, but it was over the bar.
26' Senior Tyler Schommer got Denver on the board ahead of the half hour mark. Will King got Tate free down the Denver right and Tate played a cross into the POMO. Schommer took a touch and flicked it by the oncoming Seattle keeper for the opener.
35' Ian Welch made an impressive play on the defensive end that started a counter through Tomi Giwa. Giwa got the ball to Chase Stewart who took a couple of touches to the top of the box, but pulled his shot wide of the left post.
44' Stewart got himself another chance at the top of the box, going for the top right corner and just missing the post.
51' After a couple great chances in the first half, Stewart finally got his deserved goal in the early stages of the second half. Willoughby got the ball in the center of the area. Stewart's first shot was saved, but he put the rebound into the empty net to double Denver's advantage.
67' Continuing to grow in confidence, Stewart tried to take a cross on the half volley in-front of the Seattle net, but scooped it over the bar.
