Career

After hearing of Dunlap-Seivold playing for a club team in Seattle, North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Anson Dorrance flew there to scout her as a replacement for injured forward Stephanie Zeh. Shortly after, Dorrance offered her a full athletic scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which she accepted.[2] She played for the Tar Heels during two seasons, where she was a letter-winner and won the NCAA championship in 1983 and 1984. In total, she scored 36 goals and recorded 22 assists in 44 appearances.[3][4] In 1984 she was selected as an NSCAA Second-Team All-American. She also holds the school's record for number of consecutive matches with a point (goal or assist), with a 23-game streak during her career.[5] 1987, she was included in the South soccer team at the U.S. Olympic Festival.[6]

Dunlap-Seivold made her international debut for the United States on July 7, 1986 in the 1986 North American Cup friendly tournament against Canada, scoring in the 2–0 win. In total, she made four appearances for the U.S. and scored one goal, earning her final cap on July 26, 1986 in the Mundialito against Italy.[1]

She later served as the coach of the Durham Academy women's soccer team, where she was twice honored as North Carolina's Coach of the Year. She also coached the boys' middle school team at Durham, as well as the Chapel Hill-Durham Strikers club team. She later became the head coach of the boys' soccer team at The Blake School in Minneapolis, where she also served as the assistant athletic director. She had coached the middle school boys' team as well as the girls' junior varsity team prior.[7] Dunlap-Seivold has led youth soccer camps in both Minnesota and North Carolina.[8]

In a vote conducted by Washington Youth Soccer in 2016, Dunlap-Seivold was included by the soccer community in the Top 50 Women Players ranking.[9]
