And every Tuesday, Kate Hanson — Colorado native and sports radio reporter — breaks down what's actually happening. The results. The roster. The moments defining this inaugural season in real time. Plus the players themselves, in their own words. Inaugural seasons only happen once. Might as well pay attention. Women's soccer at altitude.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T04:19:39.696645+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-5280-pitch-denver-summit-fc-podcast-7614150"},"episode":{"title":"Denver 2, San Diego 3 and the Quote That Says Everything","slug":"denver-2-san-diego-3-and-the-quote-that-says-everything","published_at":"2026-04-28T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-5280-pitch-denver-summit-fc-podcast-7614150/denver-2-san-diego-3-and-the-quote-that-says-everything","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-5280-pitch-denver-summit-fc-podcast-7614150","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/c3157a0cf00fdb2ca85413634ff589a3975f02c1a98b38ee54aa1aa6ee9630d7/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI1MmQ2NjNmMC1jMWViLTRjZTEtOGM3ZC0wMGZjNDMyMjhjNGIiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzYTE4MjdkZS05M2JkLTQwZDYtYTU0ZS0yMjFjZjk4NzMzMjAiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2MzBkMGViNWU0NTg5NjAwMGNmNTdmMGUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlmMDM4NjJmZGFmMjA3M2M5YjVmMGIyLzUyODAtcGl0Y2gtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi00LTI4X182LTMyLTM0Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/c3157a0cf00fdb2ca85413634ff589a3975f02c1a98b38ee54aa1aa6ee9630d7/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI1MmQ2NjNmMC1jMWViLTRjZTEtOGM3ZC0wMGZjNDMyMjhjNGIiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiIzYTE4MjdkZS05M2JkLTQwZDYtYTU0ZS0yMjFjZjk4NzMzMjAiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2MzBkMGViNWU0NTg5NjAwMGNmNTdmMGUiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjlmMDM4NjJmZGFmMjA3M2M5YjVmMGIyLzUyODAtcGl0Y2gtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi00LTI4X182LTMyLTM0Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"Denver Summit FC led the #1 team in the NWSL 2-0 at halftime. Then San Diego scored three goals in 16 second-half minutes to break a 30-match curse and walk out of Dick's Sporting Goods Park with a 3-2 win. It hurts. It also tells you something about where this team really is. In this episode, Kate breaks down the full match — from the rehearsed buildup that produced Denver's first ever home goal, to the second-half collapse, to the Pickett own goal that sealed it. We dig into the formation switch Cushing made for this match, why it worked for 45 minutes, and what changed after the break. Plus: an introduction to expected goals (xG) and what the underlying numbers actually say about Denver's performance against the league leaders. Standout individual performances from Kaleigh Kurtz, Janine Sonis, and Abby Smith. The Eva Gaetino comeback story — from crutches at Mile High to subbing on against San Diego in four weeks. And the discipline issue that cost Denver in the back half. You'll hear postgame audio from Tash Flint, Yazmeen Ryan, Nick Cushing, and San Diego head coach Jonas Eidevall — whose quote about Denver Summit FC after the match might be the most important thing said all weekend.
