The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) continued their reign of dominance in international soccer, securing the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in a 1-0 win over Brazil. A pivotal force behind this triumph was the formidable trio known as the “Triple Espresso”: Trinity Rodman, Sophia Smith, and Mallory Swanson. Their electrifying pace, skillful playmaking, and clinical finishing were instrumental in breaking down defenses and creating scoring opportunities. The Triple Espresso’s impact on the tournament was undeniable, as they consistently delivered game-changing performances, with the trio scoring or assisting on 11 of the 12 U.S. goals. As the USWNT looks to the future, this talented trio is poised to lead the way for years to come.
