A couple of months ago, Washington Spirit rookie Trinity Rodman said that the favorite goal she’s ever scored came in the waning minutes of last year’s U.S. Youth National Team’s CONCACAF title-clinching victory over Mexico. The goal was special to Rodman because, despite the 4-1 score line (Rodman scored a brace), it was a physically demanding match. In fact, to score it she had to fight off two defenders during her forty-yard dribble into the box which was capped off by a hop to maintain her balance and shoot into the far side netting.
Just five minutes into her professional debut this weekend, she scored a new favorite.
