Trinity Rodman Named Sports Illustrated's NWSL MVP of the Month

Trinity Rodman was named Sports Illustrated’s NWSL MVP of the Month for July after an electric run with the Washington Spirit. She scored five goals in six matches, including three match-winners, and added a match-winning assist. Washington closed July with a 5-1-0 record, moving to the top of the NWSL table since 2023. Rodman also became the youngest player in league history to start 100 career regular-season matches. The Spirit remain in a tight race for the NWSL Shield, sitting second with 36 points behind Gotham FC’s 40. Ahead of Aug. 14 matches, Rodman’s focus includes returning the club to the NWSL final at Audi Field and pushing for a U.S. national team call-up in October.
