The Washington Spirit trolled an opposing keeper after the young star she squabbled with on Twitter scored on her twice

• Trinity Rodman scored two goals to lead the Washington Spirit past Gotham FC on Sunday.
• The standout performance came a few weeks after the young star beefed with Gotham's veteran goalie on social media.

The beef is hot and sizzling in the National Women's Soccer League.

And now, it's safe to say the Washington Spirit and NJ/NY Gotham FC are officially rivals.

Washington bested Gotham 3-1 on their home turf at New Jersey's Red Bull Arena Sunday, behind a pair of exceptional goals from reigning Rookie of the Year Trinity Rodman. The young Spirit star has been on a tear for club and country in recent weeks, and her heroics against NJ/NY served as the latest chapter in a brilliant feud between herself and Gotham's starting keeper: former US Women's National Team star Ashlyn Harris.

It all started the last time to two teams faced each other. Their March 25 matchup at Washington's Segra Field ended in a 1-1 draw, but the Spirit celebrated the tie like a win the following day. Washington's official Twitter account shared a clip of forward Ashley Sanchez juking out Ali Krieger and sending the NJ/NY defender — who is Harris' wife — stumbling to the ground.

"Hey @GothamFC, too soon?" the Spirit captioned the post.

Harris quickly came to her wife's defense, critiquing Washington's field and telling the team to "take your amateur shit back to your high school field." But Rodman saw through Harris' excuse, noting in the replies that she "didn't see anyone else fallin like that" and that the goalie should "accept her ankles got broke."

Unsurprisingly, the NWSL veteran wasn't pleased with the 19-year-old's snide remark. She replied to Rodman, "Oh my bad…" then mocked her for "feeling confident hunny" after her first call-up to the USWNT.

Both Harris and Krieger have extensive national team experience, having won two World Cups with the Stars and Stripes. Krieger is one of 41 players in USWNT history with more than 100 caps.

Washington didn't forget Harris' slight after Rodman recorded a brace — scoring on a 39th-minute volley and again in the 75th minute to put the nail in Gotham's coffin — in Sunday's grudge match. Once the final whistle blew, the Spirit's social media manager not-so-subtly trolled Harris, using the keeper's own words:

"Feeling confident hunny "

Washington's big win puts the reigning champions in a strong position to claim the East division in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup. NJ/NY, meanwhile, sits at third in the division with a 1-2-2 record in the annual tournament.
