10/21 votes

In her first game in a Utah Surf’s kit, Rodriguez helped the Provo, Utah side achieve something no other team in the Wasatch Division has done in a WPSL Season – dethrone the Utah Avalanche.

Rodriguez’s efforts in goal proved paramount in the Surf’s 2-0 win over the Avalanche side – which game into the match nationally ranked at No. 12 in the league.

The Columbia University keeper played all 90 minutes of the match and made 21 saves to shut out the Avalanche and complete the divisional upset of the weekend. This performance also earned Rodriguez the Central Region Player of the Week announced on Thursday, May 23.
