""I'm happy for her, I really am," said Hayes. "It was a hard year, as we know. And she's ready to move forward, which I think today symbolizes that this is a fresh year. It's a fresh start for her. "She's settled, she's happy. I think knowing what her future is, this is a big weight off of her shoulders.""
""The goal for Rodman capped off a memorable week, coming days after she signed a new contract with the Washington Spirit that, according to her agent, makes her the highest-paid women's player in the world. The match in Carson, California, was her first for the U.S. since a 2-0 friendly win against Brazil last April, which was her only international appearance in 2025 due to back and knee injuries.""
""The whole game, was telling Tara, I was like, 'Please, play one over the top. Come on, we got this,'" Rodman said in a post-match interview on the TNT broadcast. "And then she again just had so much time and I finally just called for it, played a perfect little ball, cut it back, and then when it went in, I was like, 'Alright, it's my time to shine.'""
Trinity Rodman scored in the United States women's national team’s 6-0 victory over Paraguay, completing a week that included a new Washington Spirit contract reportedly making her the highest-paid women's player. The match in Carson, California was Rodman’s first U.S. appearance since a 2-0 friendly win over Brazil last April, after missing time with back and knee injuries. Rodman operated as a right-sided threat and converted a 56th-minute finish after a Tara Rudd pass, celebrating with a dance. Reilyn Turner, one of three debutants, opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time as the U.S. dominated throughout.
