The U.S. relied on the trio of Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman and Swanson to lead the offensive attack throughout the Olympics. The three stars scored 10 of the 12 U.S. goals. Meanwhile, Naomi Girma proved to be an moveable force on defense.

“We always believed,” Girma said, per the AP.

The trio of Smith, Rodman and Swanson have earned nicknames such as “The Trident,” “Holy Trinity” and “The Big Three.” But the one they like most is “Triple Espresso.”

“We have a proposal for our trio name to be ‘Triple Espresso.’ So we’re going to put that out into the air and let people run with that, because we like that as well,” Rodman said, per Today.com.

For Brazil’s legendary player, Marta, it was a heartbreaking end. Marta, a six-time world player of the year, never won a Women’s World Cup or an Olympic gold. Marta is not expected to play in another international tournament.
