It was a return to play that couldn't have been scripted any better than if it were written by a dream weaver. It's been 114 days since 23-year-old forward Trinity Rodman played in a professional soccer match and nearly a year since she last scored a goal, as the U.S. women's national team player worked her way back from a lengthy back injury.

It didn't take Trinity Rodman long to make her presence felt upon returning from a back injury. The Washington Spirit star returned to the field for the first time since April as a second-half sub during Sunday's game against Portland Thorns FC. All she did was bury the game-winning goal in stoppage time to lift the Spirit to a 2-1 victory.
