    Denver Summit FC Power Rankings: 11th in NWSL, But Jason Says Playoff Hopes Alive | Beatline FC
    2026/08/23
    Denver Summit FC sit 11th in the NWSL with a 6-6-8 record, but analyst Jason argues the playoff race is wide open. In this episode of the Beatline Podcast, we break down the team's standing, strengths, and question marks, and give a realistic outlook for the final stretch of the 2026 season.

    We discuss the recent 2-1 loss to Bay FC, where Abby Smith made five saves and Eva Gaetino registered the team's only shot. We analyze the midfield logjam, the goalkeeper battle, and the potential for younger players like Gaetino to earn more minutes. We also reference the recent power rankings that have Gotham FC, Utah Royals, and Portland Thorns atop the league.

    Christine and Jason debate whether 11th place is an underrating, and Jason predicts the team needs seven or eight wins from their final 12 games to secure a playoff spot. He projects a 38-point finish, which would put Denver Summit FC right on the bubble. Tune in for the full breakdown and the rally cry for the rest of the season.

  • Denver Summit FC Roster Battles: Abby Smith, Eva Gaetino, and Playoff Push | Beatline FC

    Denver Summit FC Roster Battles: Abby Smith, Eva Gaetino, and Playoff Push | Beatline FC
    2026/08/22
    Denver Summit FC are 11th in the NWSL at 6-6-7, and the roster battles are heating up. In this episode of Beatline, we break down the goalkeeper competition, the midfield logjam, and the wing depth as the playoff race tightens. Abby Smith made five saves in the recent 2-1 loss to Bay FC, while Eva Gaetino and Kaleigh Kurtz are battling for center-back minutes. We also discuss the wide positions and who might be on the chopping block for the playoff roster.

    We analyze the key position groups and depth chart questions facing Denver Summit FC. Abby Smith has the starting goalkeeper spot locked up, but the backup role is up for grabs. In midfield, there's a logjam of talent, with veterans and youngsters competing for starting spots. On the wings, speed and one-on-one ability are the deciding factors. We predict that Eva Gaetino is trending up and could force her way into more minutes, while some veterans might see reduced roles.

    We also look ahead to the playoff push and make our predictions for who makes the final roster. With a fifty-fifty chance of making the playoffs, every decision matters. Will the coaching staff prioritize experience or youth? Tune in to hear our takes on the battles that will define Denver Summit FC's season.

    Denver Summit FC Mailbag: Can They Fix the Attack? | Beatline FC
    2026/08/20
    Denver Summit FC's playoff hopes are in jeopardy after a frustrating loss to Bay FC, where Abby Smith made five saves but the team managed only one shot.

With a negative goal differential and an 11th-place standing, every point matters in the NWSL playoff race.

They discuss the need for a creative midfielder who can unlock defenses, the possibility of a late push, and whether 2026 is a building year. The episode also covers the brutal August schedule, the gap in possession against Bay FC, and the roster battles that need to be won. In the lightning round, they weigh in on Abby Smith as MVP, playoff chances, and the biggest need at the deadline.
