Trinity Rodman starts for Spirit ahead of Ben Shelton's US Open final
With boyfriend Ben Shelton set to play the US Open final later in the afternoon, Trinity Rodman was named in the Washington Spirit's starting lineup.
On September 13, Trinity Rodman was selected to play for the Washington Spirit, even as her boyfriend Ben Shelton was set to compete in the US Open final later that day. The Spirit were scheduled to face the Boston Legacy at Audi Field in Washington D.C. at 1 p.m. ET, while Shelton's match with top seed Alexander Zverev was set for 2 p.m. ET at the US Open in New York.
Rodman, who leads the Spirit with 10 goals this season, had a conflict as she always wanted to attend her team's match. Despite the time difference, it appears highly unlikely for her to attend both events, as the final could end around 6:30 p.m. ET, three and a half hours after the Spirit and Legacy match concludes.
