The Summit finished the 2022 regular season with an 11–1 record[2] and reached the AUDL semifinals but lost 19–14 to the Chicago Union. Multiple Summit players earned end-of-season honors—Jonathan Nethercutt was named to First Team All-AUDL, Quinn Finer and Cody Spicer were named to both Second Team All-AUDL and All-AUDL Rookie First Team, and Mathieu Agee, Alex Atkins, and Alex Tatum were all named to All-AUDL Rookie Second Team. Spicer also earned All-AUDL Defense Team honors.[3]
