Jordynn Araya Dudley (born November 21, 2004) is an American college soccer player who plays as a forward for the Florida State Seminoles. She won an NCAA championship and was named first-team All-American with the Seminoles as a freshman in 2023. She helped win bronze with the United States at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
Early life
[edit]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]
College career
[edit]Dudley started 16 games for the Florida State Seminoles in her freshman season in 2023.[3] She scored her first two college goals in a 5–1 win over South Florida.[9] She scored another two goals in a 3–3 draw to then-No. 1 North Carolina, followed by another brace in a shutout win over Miami.[6][10] In the postseason, she scored in the conference semifinal and assisted in the final to help win the ACC tournament.[3] She scored three goals, including two game winners, through the first five rounds of the NCAA tournament.[3] In the national title game, she converted a penalty kick to open scoring and added an assist in a 5–1 victory over Stanford, making Florida State undefeated national champions.[5][11] She totaled 14 goals and 9 assists over the season and 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]
International career
[edit]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 helped lead the United States to third place at the U-20 Women's World Cup, the country's best result since 2012.[17] She started the opening match but missed the rest of the group stage after being in concussion protocol.[18][19] She returned off the bench in the first knockout round, scoring in extra time to defeat Mexico 3–2.[19] 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.[20] After falling to North Korea, the United States won the third place game 2–1 over the Netherlands, its best result since 2012.[17]
