  • Darts towards goal from own half
  • Pushing for USWNT spot at World Cup

WHAT HAPPENED? Rodman scored the game's lone goal in a 1-0 win over OL Reign, taking off from her own half towards goal in the 54th minute. After pushing the ball all the way towards the box, Rodman then finished the move off herself, finding the corner to lead her side to victory.
