Crystal Alyssia Soubrier (née Dunn; born July 3, 1992) is an American professional soccer player for National Women's Soccer League club Portland Thorns FC and the United States women's national team. She first appeared for her country during an international friendly against Scotland on February 13, 2013. She has since made more than 100 total appearances for the team.
Dunn played collegiate soccer with the North Carolina Tar Heels from 2010 to 2013 and was awarded the 2012 Hermann Trophy for best college soccer player. She was a member of the team that won the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan. Following her collegiate career, Dunn was selected first overall by the Washington Spirit in the 2014 NWSL College Draft that took place on January 17, 2014. The following year, she won the NWSL Most Valuable Player and the Golden Boot awards,[4] becoming the youngest player to win both awards, at age 23.[5]
Early life
Born in New Hyde Park, New York, to Vincent and Rhonda Dunn,[6] Crystal was raised with her brother Henry in Rockville Centre, New York where she attended South Side High School.[7] At South Side, she was a four-year starter as forward and midfielder and team captain in 2008 and 2009.[6] She lost only two matches in three seasons at South Side and helped lead her team to New York state championships in 2006, 2007 and 2009. In 2008, she was competing at the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in New Zealand.[8] As captain of the team in 2009, she scored four goals in the first 20 minutes of the state championship game.[3][9]
"As a black woman I always felt growing up I had to do above and beyond stuff to be noticed, to feel like I could hang with everybody else," she says. "I tried to implement so many different things in my game so that I'm not just known for my speed. It's a stereotype that black players are just really fast, but at the end of day I want to be skilled, I want to be technical, I want to have vision and that's what I've always tried to promote in my game: not relying on one thing but just being able to outwork players in so many different ways.
Crystal Dunn, The Guardian[10]

University of North Carolina, 2010–2013
Dunn attended the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and majored in sociology. As a freshman in 2010,[6] Dunn started 23 matches for a total of 1,929 minutes, playing the full 90 minutes 18 times.[6] She was the team's leading player in points (26), including nine goals and eight assists.[6] She scored four goals during the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship, including a match-winner against Jackson State, a goal against Notre Dame, and two goals in a 3–1 win over James Madison in the second round of the tournament.[6] Her accolades during her first year season included Soccer America Freshman of the Year, 2010 NSCAA first-team All-America honoree, Second-team Soccer America MVP selection, and First-team All-ACC.[6] She was the first freshman ever to win the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award and was a semi-finalist for the 2010 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy.[6]
As a sophomore in 2011, Dunn started in 19 matches, missing only one while she was training with the United States under-20 women's national soccer team. She scored three goals and made six assists during the season.[6] She was named third-team All-America and first-team All-Southeast Region by the NSCAA. She was also named to the first-team All-ACC and was named to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week three times.[6]
During her junior season in 2012, Dunn missed the non-conference phase of the 2012 college season while playing for the United States under-20 women's national soccer team at the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan. Following her return, she helped lead the Tar Heels to win the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship.[6] During the tournament's quarter-final, Dunn scored both goals in a 2–1 win against top-seed team BYU, including a match-winning "golden" goal within four minutes of the end of the second overtime. She also saved her team from losing to BYU when she headed the ball away from the Tar Heels' goal line in the first overtime.[6][14] Dunn was named the 2013 Hermann Trophy winner as well as the ACC Athlete of the Year and ACC Defender of the Year.[15][16][17] Dunn was an All-ACC selection for the third straight year and an ESPY Awards finalist.[18] She also was awarded the 2012 Honda Award for Soccer.[19]

Washington Spirit, 2014–2017
In January 2014, Washington Spirit selected Dunn with the first overall pick in the 2014 College Draft for the 2014 season of the National Women's Soccer League.[23][24] She made 19 starts in her 22 appearances for the Spirit during the 2014 season.[citation needed] The team finished fourth during the regular season with a 10–9–5 record securing a place in the playoffs.[25] During the semi-final, the Spirit were defeated by regular season champions Seattle Reign FC 2–1 on August 31 in Seattle.[26]

North Carolina Courage, 2018–2020
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Crystal_Dunn_Alanna_Kennedy_%2828411397877%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/220px-Crystal_Dunn_Alanna_Kennedy_%2828411397877%29_%28cropped%29.jpg)
After a year in England, it was planned that Dunn would return to North America with the deal of a trade with Washington Spirit for two of North Carolina Courage's players at the time, Taylor Smith and Ashley Hatch. The Spirit retained the League rights after Chelsea signed Dunn back in January 2017.[37] This move was confirmed by Chelsea on February 25, 2018.[36]
She made her first appearance for the North Carolina Courage in a 1–0 win over Portland Thorns FC, in the opening game of the 2018 NWSL season.[41] Dunn was named Player of the Week twice in the 2018 NWSL season, for weeks 8 and 13.[42][43] She was named Player of the Month for the month of June.[44] Dunn appeared in 22 regular season games for the Courage, scoring eight goals, helping North Carolina win the NWSL Shield.[45] The Courage broke multiple season records including most goals scored, most wins, and most points.[46] Dunn was named to the 2018 NWSL Best XI.[47] Dunn was in the starting lineup for the semi-final game against the Chicago Red Stars, in which North Carolina won 2–0 and advanced to the Championship Game.

In October 2014, Dunn was dropped from the national team roster ahead of the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship, which served as the qualifying tournament for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[58] Dunn returned from injury in December 2014 and traveled with the team to Brazil, but did not play.[59]
Dunn was named to the roster for February 2015 friendlies against France and England,[60] and made a substitute appearance against England.[59] February 2015, Dunn was named to the 2015 Algarve Cup roster, but did not play during the tournament. Dunn was named to the preliminary roster for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, but surprisingly did not make the final squad of 23.[59]
In September 2015, Dunn was added to the roster for the national team's Women's World Cup victory tour prior to the September 17 match against Haiti, becoming the first player not on the World Cup roster to join the tour.[61] She made her first start of 2015 against Haiti and earned her first cap since the England friendly.

Personal life
Dunn married Pierre Soubrier in December 2018. They met when she was playing for the NWSL's Washington Spirit, where he was working as an athletic trainer.[69][70] Soubrier's presence in Portland, where he was head trainer for the Portland Thorns, contributed to Dunn's desire to get traded to Portland.[71] Together, they have five chickens (Quinn, Juke, Chelsea, Toulouse, and Rocky), as well as three cats.[72]
On November 11, 2021, Dunn announced that she and Soubrier were expecting their first child together; baby Marcel Jean was born on May 20, 2022.[73] [74]
