Dinunzio’s older sister played field hockey which initially put the sport on her radar. The two would hit around in the backyard and ultimately encouraged her to try out for the middle school team. Growing up in a university town, Dinunzio has been hooked on the game ever since she saw her first Penn State University Field Hockey match. There are so many parts and skills to the game, giving players an incredible amount of creativity, something Dinunzio thrives off of. As one of the newer names to the USWNT roster, Dinunzio looks to add her creativity and flair to the senior level.
