Trinity Rodman's impactful return to the USWNT was highlighted by her quick goal against Brazil in a 2-0 victory on Saturday, just five minutes into the match. At only 22 and following Olympic success, she has quickly become a pivotal player for the team, particularly as veterans retire or are sidelined. The crowd's enthusiastic support exemplified her rising stardom, while teammates acknowledged her ability to energize the group amid a transitional phase with many new players. Rodman's dynamic presence on the field has established her as a cornerstone for the future of USWNT.
Trinity Rodman waited 238 days to play for the United States women's national team again after winning an Olympic gold medal, and she needed exactly five minutes on Saturday to remind the world why she is the USWNT's new superstar.
'Trin, she's world-class,' USWNT head coach Emma Hayes said after her team's 2-0 victory over Brazil at SoFi Stadium.
She brings a huge energy on and off the field, and it's incredible to just feed off of that,' said USWNT teammate Ally Sentnor.
...Rodman also provides the USWNT a sense of stability. She stretches lines and leaves defenders spinning in circles, as Brazil did throughout the opening.
