Crystal Dunn ‘still on cloud nine’ after U.S. women’s World Cup title, return to NWSL

Posted Aug 11, 2019
Crystal Dunn’s World Cup gold medal hangs on the door of a closet near her bed at home. She left it there by happenstance, but when she wakes up, it’s right there in front of her. That’s a pretty good way to start a morning. Then she goes to work with her club team, the reigning NWSL champion North Carolina Courage. That’s a pretty good way to spend the rest of the day.
