Denver Summit FC goalkeeper Abby Smith has been named to the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Best XI for March, the league announced today. The honor marks the first monthly recognition for a Summit FC player in club history.
Smith executed a league-leading 20 saves in the month while turning in clean sheets on March 25 at Gotham FC and March 28 vs. Washington Spirit FC, her first consecutive clean sheets since April 22 and April 30, 2023.
Smith leads the league with an 87.0 save percentage, while also averaging 5.0 saves per 90 minutes and 5.0 goals prevented. On March 20 at Orlando, she logged her 250th career NWSL save, becoming the 13th goalkeeper in history to reach that mark.
