Here are some takeaways from the match:
Trinity Rodman is in standout form with club
Rodman has been doing it all for the Spirit since week one. She scored a goal and notched an assist in the win and her defensive work rate as a winger has the capability to wear down opposing attackers. She should be considered an early candidate for NWSL MVP this season if she can keep up the work rate at this pace.
Her goal and assist in the game bring her to 13 goals and 10 assists in NWSL league play. It’s a new record as the first player to record at least 10 goals and 10 assists in regular season play before turning 21 years old.
Rodman’s playing responsibilities seem to have increased in this World Cup year, as she, and other players on the Spirit, are making a case for the final spots on the World Cup…
