- Denver scored on all six of their shots on target, finishing with a 6-1 victory.
- Natasha Flint spearheaded the rout with a brace, striking in the 19th and 68th minutes.
- The home side owned 60 percent of possession while outshooting Louisville 19 to 6.

Flint and Kurtz build the first-half foundation
Denver seized control early and found their breakthrough before the 20-minute mark. Natasha Flint opened the scoring in the 19th minute, validating the sustained possession Denver established right from kickoff. The home side held the ball for 60 percent of the match and prevented Louisville from finding any rhythm out of the back.
As the first half entered stoppage time, Kaleigh Kurtz doubled the lead. Kurtz poked in Denver’s second in the 47th minute, punishing the away side just before the interval and ensuring the hosts walked into the locker room with full command of the contest.
Denver unleashes a second-half storm
Whatever adjustments Racing Louisville attempted at halftime vanished inside the hour mark. Klara Kössler struck in the 59th minute to stretch the lead to three. Lindsey Horan followed in the 66th minute, finishing cleanly as the home side turned pressure into an insurmountable margin.
Flint struck again just two minutes later. In the 68th minute, she grabbed her second of the afternoon, extending the scoreline to 5-0 and capping an unforgiving nine-minute sequence where the visitors conceded three times.
Ryan caps the scoring after Louisville response
Racing Louisville managed their only shot on target in the 79th minute, when Taylor White found the net to spoil the shutout. It did little to shift the balance of the duel. Just two minutes later, Yazmeen Ryan scored Denver’s sixth, ending any brief reprieve Louisville had earned.
The final stat sheet reflected Denver’s dominance across the pitch. Beyond the 19 to 6 shot disparity, the visitors struggled with timing in attack, getting flagged offside four times compared to just once for Denver Summit. Clean discipline prevailed throughout, with neither side picking up a caution in a match that Denver controlled from start to finish.
