Early life

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 2023. [7] She committed to play for Florida State under Mark Krikorian, then signed her national letter of intent to reaffirm her commitment under new head Brian Pensky. [5] [8]

College career

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 ACC tournament, she scored Pittsburgh and had an assist to Onyi Echegini against Clemson in the final. [3] She scored four goals, two of them game winners, during the NCAA tournament. In the national title game, she converted a penalty to open the scoring and added an assist in a 5–1 victory over Stanford, helping the Seminoles become undefeated national champions and win the fourth national title in program history. [5] [9] She was recognized as the ACC Freshman of the Year, TopDrawerSoccer National Freshman of the Year, first-team All-ACC, first-team All-American, and the NCAA College Cup's Most Outstanding Offensive Player. [3]

Dudley recorded 9 goals and a team-high 11 assists in 15 games as a sophomore in 2024, earning first-team All-ACC and second-team All-American honors. She assisted in all three rounds in the ACC tournament, helping the Noles win their fifth consecutive ACC tournament title. The team earned a one seed in the NCAA tournament but was upset in the second round on penalties. [3]

Dudley scored 11 goals and again led the Seminoles with 14 assists (fifth in the nation) in 22 games as a junior in 2025. [3] In the NCAA tournament quarterfinals, she scored twice against Ohio State. [3] Florida State won 1–0 against Stanford in the final, earning Dudley her second national title. [10] She was named first-team All-ACC and first-team All-American and was one of three finalists for the Hermann Trophy. [11]

International career

Dudley was called into training camp with the United States national under-14 team in July 2018. [12] She trained with the combined under-18/under-19 teams in January 2023 and the under-20 team three months later. [13] [14] 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. [15] [16]

Dudley started the opening match at the 2024 U-20 Women's World Cup but missed the rest of the group stage after being in concussion protocol. [17] [18] She returned off the bench in the first knockout round, scoring in extra time to defeat Mexico 3–2. [18] 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. [19] After falling to North Korea, the United States won the third place game 2–1 over the Netherlands, its best result since 2012.
