In the 1991 World Cup final, Godwin had conceded a penalty try to England which gave them an early lead. A brace of tries in the second half more than made up for her early offence and gave the United States the much-needed boost.[4][5][6]
Godwin and the 1991 World Cup squad were inducted into the United States Rugby Hall of Fame in 2017.[7][8]
