Trinity Rodman made her feelings known after scoring a late winner in the 92nd minute after coming off the bench during the game against the Portland Thorns. Speaking in an interview, she shared that it was a very difficult phase for her, dealing with the injury, and expressed her happiness to be back on the pitch and score that late goal.

Additionally, Rodman also added that she has worked very hard away from the pitch during her recovery time from injury. She said (via Olympics.com):

"It was just the hardest thing I've had to go through with injury and everything. So being back, especially at the home stadium, with the crowd behind me, scoring a goal like that. You saw, I buried it, I was not gonna miss it. So yeah, I'm just really happy to be back. I miss the team. I miss doing what I love. I was doing a lot of work behind the scenes by myself."

During the conversation, Trinity Rodman also remarked that she has worked a lot on her endurance during the injury break, and her training has been significantly helpful for her during this time.
