Crystal Dunn Will Attack From Everywhere
Posted Jun 18, 2019
Crystal Dunn is technically a defender — except she’s hardly ever on defense. She is a left back on the United States women’s national team, but she’s also a huge attacking threat. She makes runs up the sideline, beating opposing defenders to deliver dangerous crossing passes or to create her own shots. Dunn plays forward for the Carolina Courage.
