Dagny is a productive midfielder who, thanks to her height, can win battles in the air and deliver accurate passes with her head.

Final Projection:
Dagny’s national team experience can’t be overlooked. Like fellow teammate Megan Campbell, Dagny is quickly becoming a veteran for her country even at a young age. As a result, she should transition well at the professional level.
