Crystal Dunn has always been an attacker. Whether she is in the midfield or in a forward role, Dunn is at her best in the final third. Dunn demonstrated this throughout her career in the NWSL, but to play consistently with the U.S. Women’s National Team, she had to adapt to a new position. Under former national team coach Jill Eillis, Dunn was converted to a left back. Since the conversion Dunn has been overlooked for the midfield and attacking positions.
