Trinity Rodman, daughter of Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NWSL draft by the Washington Spirit on Wednesday night.
Rodman, 18, was a late entry into the draft out of Washington State. Since the Pac-12 postponed the 2020 women's soccer season due to the coronavirus pandemic, Rodman did not appear in a game for Washington State.
Her performance last March helped the United States win the 2020 CONCACAF under-20 women's championship. Rodman, a forward, scored nine goals in the tournament, including two in the final against Mexico, as the U.S. went 7-0 in the competition.
