Take a look back at the excellent year that was for Dunn:
- Dunn started all 14 of her appearances for the USWNT in 2023, which marked her first full year with the team after returning to the field following the birth of her son, Marcel, late in 2022. The 31-year-old now ranks No. 25 on the team’s all-time caps list with 140 international appearances.
- She logged 970 minutes of action for the red, white and blue, helping the U.S. to one of its best defensive years to date with the lowest goals allowed per game average (0.17) in any year in program history (min. 10 games)
- She started all the USA’s games at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, her second World Cup at the senior level, and played all but eight minutes while helping the USA defense to just one goal and two shots on goal allowed all tournament.
