“I really was so surprised that I won this,” Dunn, who was visibly shocked at winning, said. “I’m here to let other women who look like me know that their dreams matter and their dreams are achievable.
“Now, about to be a mom, I’m all about chasing new perspectives and evolving myself as a person and a player.”
Dunn is currently on leave from soccer as she is expecting her first child with husband Pierre Soubrier in May.
