Spirit coach Adrian Gonzalez, who marked his debut as full-time head coach with the dramatic victory, mentioned after the game that because of Rodman’s minutes management, she was only ever going to play 15 minutes.

Washington Spirit will look to kick off the restart with a bang as they host rivals Portland Thorns at home in the upcoming game. With a lot riding on the game, all eyes are on Trinity Rodman, as the USWNT star eyes a valiant return.
