Experimental USWNT are inconsistent against Argentina but do enough as Trinity Rodman's status remains unclear

Lindsey Heaps and Jaedyn Shaw scored on each side of the halftime, but Rodman picked up an injury as the coaching staff awaits words as to the severity

U.S. women's national team head coach Emma Hayes once again embraced a spirit of experimentation on Sunday, rotating through her options and trialing out some new tactical ideas in a 2-0 win over Argentina to open the SheBelieves Cup.

Captain Lindsey Heaps and Jaedyn Shaw scored to ensure the USWNT extended their winning streak to seven games but the hosts survived an uneven performance with highs and lows. Fringe players like Emma Sears and Jameese Joseph had their moments, while midfielder Claire Hutton's stock continues to grow even after a substitute appearance.

The USWNT's win, though, was marked by injuries to Trinity Rodman and Lily Reale in the second half. Rodman was kneed in the back in stoppage time and watching the dying minutes of the match from the touchline. Reale, a second half substitute, came off after playing roughly 10 minutes following a hard tackle that left her with discomfort in her ankle and limping.

Hayes' side resume play in the SheBelieves Cup on Wednesday at Columbus' ScottsMiracle-Gro Field against Canada, who beat Colombia 4-1 on Sunday.

Here are takeaways from the U.S.' win.
