USWNT star Shaw breaks Rodman’s NWSL record with San Diego Wave goal

The 19-year-old scored her 13th career NWSL goal against Rodman’s Spirit

Jaedyn Shaw has broken Trinity Rodman’s all-time NWSL record for most goals by a teenager.

The San Diego Wave attacker ironically scored her record-breaking 13th career NWSL goal against Rodman’s Washington Spirit side on Saturday.

Shaw, 19, got on the end of a left-footed cross by María Sánchez in the 20th minute at Audi Field. After her first shot attempt got stuck under her feet, Shaw was able to recover in time to bury her second effort past Spirit goalkeeper Aubrey Kingsbury.

The Spirit would eventually recover thanks to Croix Bethune, who scored an equalizer deep into stoppage time to earn her side a 1-1 draw.

Shaw’s goal coming against the Spirit carried an extra layer of irony as well: Washington had Shaw on its preseason roster in 2022 and tried to sign her, but the NWSL intervened and said she would have to go through its discovery process, which ultimately saw the then-17-year-old sign with San Diego.

Both Shaw and Rodman are expected to be on the U.S. women’s national team 18-player Olympic roster, which will be named next month.
