The USWNT, under the new leadership of Emma Hayes, displayed a more fluid system in a 3-0 win over China. Trinity Rodman shone with a goal and two assists, while Olivia Moultrie and Jenna Nighswonger made their debuts. The team's performance showed promise for the future, with Kilgore praising the first goal as a repeatable moment.

Kilgore on first #USWNT goal: "I was really, really pleased with the first goal. That is us. That's football as we play it. It was very good team goal and... a really great but very repeatable moment for us that we should be looking to have consistently." https://t.co/tkEPjRDagG

The first #USWNT game since Emma Hayes was named coach, a 3-0 win over China, showed off a more fluid system. At a minimum, formations change in + out of possession, but there was more than that happening on Saturday. Analysis on @EqualizerSoccer 👇 🔗 https://t.co/WyymLayi1g https://t.co/tJt8ycAChX
Trinity Rodman, who had two assists + goal in 3-0 win over China, met Serena Williams after the match and was totally star struck. Said Serena asked for her jersey but she had already given it to a fan. But … she found another one.
Trinity Rodman entered the mixed zone behind the rest of the team thanks to meeting Serena Williams — she walked in, apologetic but also admitting how star struck she was. #USWNT

FULL TIME: #USWNT 3 China 0 Goals: Smith, Horan, Rodman The first game of the Emma-Hayes-in-collaboration-with-Twila Kilgore Era is in the books.
Believe that is China's first shot/shot on target of the match, in the 79' #USWNT
Rodman gets the #USWNT's third goal. It comes from that right-sided buildup again, this time with Midge Purce in place of Casey Krueger. Jaedyn Shaw with the assist.
Rodman gets hers, Purce in off the wing, to Shaw, who gets it central to Rodman at close range. 3-0 #USWNT
And now it's a #USWNT debut for 18-year-old midfielder Olivia Moultrie.
First cap time for Olivia Moultrie too. #USWNT
Jenna Nighswonger gets her #USWNT debut less than a month after winning #NWSL Rookie of the Year and the NWSL Championship.
Nighswonger, Moultrie and Coffey warming up down on the endline right now 👀 #USWNT
Horan from distance for that one — Shaw in the right spot for the header, but missed, just think goalkeeper got stuck thinking Shaw would send it back across. Lavelle comes over to celebrate, laughing. 2-0 #USWNT
Well... a goal's a goal, etc. etc. 2-0 #USWNT
Fishel and Shaw on for #USWNT 👀
TRINITY RODMAN ➡️ SOPHIA SMITH ➡️ 🥅 USWNT lead China 1-0 at the half. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/S8C8ixtOlA
China has sat so low, that the #USWNT has gone five across the front line in multiple buildouts trying to find width and stretch the field. For all the positive possession, the U.S. has been fairly wasteful in the final third in this first half. U.S. 1-0 China.
