Rodman, Swanson and Wilson look forward to reuniting Triple Espresso after eventful year

Earlier this month, Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson, and Sophia Wilson signalled returns to NWSL play and the USWNT, with Rodman signing a three-year deal with the Washington Spirit.
Swanson and Wilson left last season to start families while Rodman recovered from injuries; Rodman's contract was scuttled by the NWSL, prompting the High Impact Player mechanism allowing $1 million over the cap.
Rodman returned to January camp and captained a young side to a win against Paraguay, Wilson plans to play the Thorns' mid-March opener, and Swanson is easing back while in a newborn bubble.
Keeping the trio in the NWSL reduces the risk of losing stars overseas, and all three are likely to reunite for the U.S. women's national team as World Cup qualifying approaches in November.
At a Los Angeles preseason event the trio nicknamed 'Triple Espresso' reunited in person for the first time since the 2024 Olympics, highlighting their Olympic pedigree.
