Early life and college career

Dudley was raised in Milton, Georgia, the daughter of Georgette McCray and Donald Dudley, and has an older brother. [3] [4] She began playing soccer when she was two years old. [4] She attended Cambridge High School and earned all-state honors in soccer all four years there. [5] She also played basketball growing up and became her high school's all-time scoring leader with more than 2,000 career points. [5] [6] She played youth club soccer for United Futbol Academy, earning ECNL All-American honors in 2022–23. [7] She verbally committed to Florida State University in October 2021, when the soccer program was led by Mark Krikorian, and signed a national letter of intent in December 2022 to play under new Florida State head coach Brian Pensky. [5] [8]

Florida State Seminoles

Dudley scored 14 goals with 9 assists in 22 games for the Florida State Seminoles in her freshman season in 2023. [3] She scored a brace in a 3–3 draw against then-No. 1 North Carolina. [6] In the postseason, she scored the first goal in a 2–0 win against Pittsburgh in the ACC tournament and assisted Onyi Echegini's first goal in the conference final. [3] She scored three goals, two of them game winners, through the first five rounds of the NCAA tournament. In the national title game, she converted a penalty to open scoring and added an assist in a 5–1 victory over Stanford, making Florida State undefeated national champions. [5] [9] She was recognized as the ACC Freshman of the Year, first-team All-ACC, first-team All-American, and the most outstanding offensive player of the NCAA tournament. [3]

Dudley recorded 9 goals and a team-high 11 assists in 15 games as a sophomore in 2024, earning first-team All-ACC honors. She assisted in all three rounds as Florida State won the ACC tournament; they lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament on penalties. [3]

International career

Dudley was called into training camp with the United States national under-14 team in July 2018. [10] She trained with the combined under-18/under-19 teams in January 2023 and the under-20 team three months later. [11] [12] She represented her country at the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, scoring on a header 25 seconds into the opening 6–0 win over Panama. The United States finished the tournament runner-up to Mexico, qualifying for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. [13] [14]

Dudley helped lead the United States to third place at the U-20 Women's World Cup, the country's best result since 2012. [15] She started the opening match but missed the rest of the group stage after being in concussion protocol. [16] [17] She returned off the bench in the first knockout round, scoring in extra time to defeat Mexico 3–2. [17] In the quarterfinals, trailing Germany 2–0, the United States came back in the last moments of regulation with a goal from Dudley and an own goal forced by Ally Sentnor in the 90+8th and 90+9th minutes; they advanced in a penalty shootout. [18] After falling to North Korea, the United States won the third place game 2–1 over the Netherlands, its best result since 2012. [15]
