During the Paris Olympics, the USWNT’s attack was powered by three forwards: Sophia Smith, Mal Swanson, and Trinity Rodman, who collectively netted 10 of the team’s 12 goals.

The Triple Espresso nickname came from a Today Show interview where the trio announced their name on August 8, 2024.

To put their dominance into perspective, the USWNT conceded just two goals throughout the tournament, meaning each member of the so-called “Triple Espresso” outscored their opponents on their own.

Smith, Swanson, and Rodman were crucial to the USWNT's Olympic success in Paris, and they’re now bringing their well-earned gold medals back home. As they continue the 2024 NWSL season with their respective club teams, fans of the USWNT and Team USA can look forward to watching these stars continue to shine on the field long after the Paris Olympics have ended.
