Rodman scores 2 in Spirit's 4
Trinity Rodman scored twice in the first half and the Washington Spirit went on to beat Angel City 4-2 on Saturday night in the National Women’s Soccer League.
All six goals came in the first half at Washington D.C.'s Audi Field, matching a league record for most goals in the opening half. Casey Krueger and Ouleymata Sarr also scored for the Spirit (7-3-0).
Sydney Leroux scored for Angel City (3-5-1), who were hurt when veteran defender Sarah Gorden was hurt early in the game.
Angel City goalkeeper DiDi Haracic stopped Rodman’s blast in the fourth minute but Rodman broke through in the ninth off a cross from Sarr to give the Spirit the early lead.
Angel City pulled even on an own goal when Annaig Butel muffed a clearance, then went up 2-1 on Leroux’s header off Claire Emslie’s cross in the 23rd.
Krueger sent a long ball toward a waiting Croix Bethune, who slipped. But Rodman picked it up with a touch for control before a left-footed shot into the net to tie it again.
