In National Women's Soccer League play, former Washington State signee Trinity Rodman and the Washington Spirit defeated Bay FC 3-0 in California. In the win, the Spirit were awarded a penalty kick in the twenty-first minute which Rodman converted.

The goal was her fifth of the season and her first converted penalty kick in her professional career.

Rodman's five-goal total matches her NWSL total from the 2023 season and is one shy of her career-high six goals, which she achieved in 2021, shortly after leaving the Washington State program.

The Spirit improve to 11-4-1 on the season. They'll have a break until July 21when they play Chivas de Guadalajara in Pennsylvania.

It continues to be an eventful summer for the United States Women's National Team forward, who was named to their first Olympic roster ahead of the 2024 Paris games. Olympic soccer matchups begin on July 24.
