Six of their 16 shots were on target, and Denver&#8217;s goalkeeper turned away all six.<\/p>\n<p>At the other end, reigning WCC Goalkeeper of the Year <a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/lucca-adams\/13564\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13564\" target=\"_blank\">Lucca Adams<\/a> played all 90 minutes without facing a shot on goal. Three of Denver&#8217;s six attempts were blocked, and the other three missed the target.
