A shot of “Triple Espresso” has been just what the U.S. women’s national soccer team needed to put them within one win of their first Olympic gold medal in 12 years.

A shot of “Triple Espresso” has been just what the U.S. women’s national soccer team needed to put them within one win of their first Olympic gold medal in 12 years.

Star forwards Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith have combined for nine of Team USA’s 10 goals during their run to the Olympic final, where they will face Brazil on Saturday.

The electrifying young trio has already gotten nicknames like “The Trident” and “Holy Trinity,” but they shared on "TODAY" on Thursday that they’ve come up with one themselves.

“We also have a name for ourselves. We have an announcement,” Smith told Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “Trinity, take it away.”

“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.
