Playing 27 games and starting 18, she was a dominant competitor as only a rising sophomore. Dorsey attended UNC with a lacrosse scholarship but impressed the soccer coaches at one of their ID Camps. Dorsey is now not only part of a collegiate soccer team that has won 21 of the 38 NCAA women's soccer national championships, but she is also part of a top Division 1 women's lacrosse program as well.
