Club career

Reigning NWSL champions Gotham FC announced on January 26, 2026, that they had signed Dudley to her first professional contract on a three-year deal. ESPN labeled her "arguably the top college prospect" of her rookie class. She made her professional debut as a halftime substitute for Sarah Schupansky in a season-opening 1–0 win over expansion team Boston Legacy on March 14. On April 29, she scored her first professional goal in a 2–0 win over the Chicago Stars – the second fastest in club history at 46 seconds into the match. She was named the NWSL Rookie of the Month for her performances in April. On June 26, she scored a solo goal against the Kansas City Current to a seal a 2–0 victory in the NWSL Challenge Cup, winning her first professional trophy.

International career

Dudley was called into training camp with the United States under-14 team in July 2018. She trained with the combined under-18/under-19 teams in January 2023, then moved up to the under-20 team three months later. She represented the United States at the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, scoring on a header just 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.

Dudley started the opening match at the 2024 U-20 Women's World Cup but missed the rest of the group stage after being in concussion protocol. She returned off the bench in the first knockout round, scoring in extra time to defeat Mexico 3–2. After falling to North Korea, the United States won the third place game 2–1 over the Netherlands, its best result since 2012. She was called up by Emma Hayes into Futures Camp, practicing concurrently with the senior national team, in January 2025.
