Strong in the tackle, pacey, and an excellent distributor out of the back. With each game, Abby Dahlkemper continues to cement her position as the USWNT’s first choice center back for years to come.
From YNT to WNT
A product of the U.S. Youth National Teams, Dahlkemper has represented the U.S. since 2010 when she first appeared for the U-17s and was a team captain. After 11 caps with the U-17s and a further eight for the U-23s from 2013-2016, Dahlkemper made her first senior appearance for the USA on Oct. 19, 2016 as a substitute against Switzerland. Dahlkemper was voted the NWSL’s Defender of the Year in 2017.
All She Does is Win Win Win, No Matter What
Dahlkemper is a proven winner. The center back won an NCAA National Championship with UCLA in 2013, and that summer was part of a Pali Blues side that won the USL-W League. Rebranded as the LA Blues, the team repeated the feat as champions following an undefeated 2014 season. As a professional, Dahlkemper hasn’t done anything but continue to win, having claimed three championships in her first four seasons in the NWSL including the 'treble': NWSL Shield, NWSL Championship and the ICC Championship with the North Carolina Courage in 2018.
