Leicy Santos: Assist of the Week, presented by Deloitte
Santos earned her first Assist of the Week honor for setting up Rodman’s game-winning goal with a perfect cross into the box in the first half. In the 33rd minute of Sunday’s victory at Audi Field, the Colombian star lobbed a ball in behind the Seattle defense, placing it deep in the box for a wide-open Rodman to poke into the back of the net.
