The USWNT kicked off 2026 Saturday with a roster full of players from the NWSL and eventually wore down Paraguay for a 6-0 win in front of 19,397 at Dignity Health Sports Park. Reilyn Turner, who was making her senior national team debut, opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time.

After Paraguay's Fiorella Martinez was guilty of conceding an own goal for the USWNT's third goal, Rodman added her name to the scoresheet three minutes later.

The Emma Hayes era with the United States women's national team has been a good one so far, with 26 wins and just three losses in 31 games.

United States coach Emma Hayes has hailed Trinity Rodman's historic deal to stay with the Washington Spirit as "a win" for both the USWNT and the NWSL.
