NC Courage features the reclamation of Crystal Dunn
Posted Apr 3, 2018
Crystal Dunn is only 25 years old, but she fancies herself an “old soul,” as likely to groove to Aretha Franklin as Beyoncé. Like Aretha, maybe all Dunn is askin’ for is a little respect. “I want to be a really impactful player this season. There was a lot of hype about me coming back into the league. I feel like I matter. But ultimately, it’s just me playing soccer again.”
