USWNT cruises to easy win in friendly vs. Jamaica: Highlights
USWNT cruises to easy win in friendly vs. Jamaica: Highlights Show Caption Hide Caption Sydney Leroux talks all things women's soccer and NWSL Sydney Leroux stops by to break down women's soccer and tells us about her new partnership with ARDA, the Sharing Time Off Contest. Sports Seriously The U.S. women's national team breezed past Jamaica Tuesday night, running up a 4-0 scoreline in a friendly at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri. Ally Sentnor and Lynn Biyendolo both provided two goals. Sentnor, the Utah Royals attacker, did her damage by scoring twice in a nine-minute span in the first half, while Biyendolo came off the bench to score with her first touch, then provided the final margin with an 88th-minute finish. With USWNT legend and St. Louis native Becky Sauerbrunn honored before kickoff, the USWNT made light work of a Reggae Girlz side missing some of its biggest names. The U.S. would finish the match with 82% possession, while goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce did not have to register a save on either of Jamaica's two shot attempts. U.S. coach Emma Hayes got more things to think about long-term, with Kerry Abello going the full 90 in her first-ever USWNT appearance. Claire Hutton and Avery Patterson, who were in that situation very recently, played major roles in USWNT goals on the night, while Ajax youngster Lily Yohannes pulled the strings in a more advanced role than she played in the 3-0 win over China on May 31.

Sports Seriously The United States Women's National Team is playing its second friendly in a week with a match-up against Jamaica.

New-look USWNT dominates China in international soccer friendly
New-look USWNT dominates China in international soccer friendly Show Caption Hide Caption Sydney Leroux talks all things women's soccer and NWSL Sydney Leroux stops by to break down women's soccer and tells us about her new partnership with ARDA, the Sharing Time Off Contest. Sports Seriously The U.S. women's national team downed China, 3-0, largely dominating a Saturday friendly that came with some signs that newer U.S. players are forging strong connections. The USWNT controlled the match from start to finish at Allianz Field, with Catarina Macario and Sam Coffey scoring first-half goals amid long spells of possession. Lindsey Heaps would head home a third early in the second half on an assist from Michelle Cooper, who was lively throughout. Lo'eau LaBonta, Cooper's teammate in the NWSL with the Kansas City Current, became the oldest player to gain their first senior USWNT cap, while goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce ultimately had little to do in her second cap. China was initially to be the USWNT's opponent in both matches in this window, but opted instead to play just this one match. The USWNT will instead play Jamaica on Tuesday, June 3.

Rodman spotted in Germany watching Shelton after announcing Spirit leave
Rodman spotted in Germany watching Shelton after announcing Spirit leave Show Caption Hide Caption Sydney Leroux talks all things women's soccer and NWSL Sydney Leroux stops by to break down women's soccer and tells us about her new partnership with ARDA, the Sharing Time Off Contest. Sports Seriously Just hours after announcing she's stepping away due to a recurrence of a back injury, Trinity Rodman was spotted in the stands at the BMW Open supporting her boyfriend, tennis star Ben Shelton. Second-seeded Shelton defeated Francisco Cerundolo in three sets in Munich on Saturday, setting up a final date against top-seeded Alexander Zverev on Sunday. Rodman is set to visit a Washington Spirit team doctor in London to examine her back, allowing her the chance to make the trip to Germany to see Shelton in action. Shelton and Rodman officially launched their relationship last month with a post on social media. Shelton, 22, is currently ranked 15th in the ATP standings and has reached the semifinals of two major championships, including the 2025 Australian Open. On Saturday, the Spirit announced that Rodman is "taking time away from team activities to manage her back." The team didn't provide a timeline for her return, only saying: 'We look forward to her returning when she's healthy.' The 22-year-old has battled a back injury throughout her career, with the issue flaring up in the wake of last summer's Olympics. Recently, Rodman said she's come to accept that the issue "will never be 100%."
