Willis' one-handed save against Portland Timbers forward Dairon Asprilla on Saturday, July 29 at Providence Park was the nominated save. The big save came in the 20th minute when Asprilla received a pass from midfielder Sebastián Blanco and fired a right-footed shot that was blocked by Willis’ right hand.

The 2018 season was a record-breaking one for Willis as he set a single-season career high for minutes played and games started, with 2,340 minutes in 26 games on the year.
