Rodman's go-ahead goal came at the right time for Washington, which had followed a stellar first half with a bit of a frantic second half. The Spirit were completely in control to start the game, with Gift Monday giving Washington the lead in the 17th minute off a perfect assist from Rosemonde Kouassi.

Trinity Rodman scored in stoppage time of her first game since April to give the Washington Spirit a 2-1 victory over the Portland Thorns in the National Women's Soccer League on Sunday.
