Victoria Thorp "Dori" Haugen (born May 1, 2002) is a professional soccer player who plays as a defender. Born in the United States, she has represented Norway at the youth international level.
Haugen was born in Fairfax, Virginia, to Nils and Micki Haugen, and has two younger siblings. Her father played semiprofessional soccer in Norway, where he was born, and moved to the United States at age 21. Her mother, born in the United States, played college field hockey at Radford. Raised in Bristow, Virginia, Haugen visited Norway with her family most summers growing up. She attended Patriot High School and captained her DA club soccer team, FC Virginia.[1] [2]
Haugen was a four-year starter for the Virginia Tech Hokies from 2020 to 2023. In the 2021 season, she recorded a career-high four assists, including one to help the Hokies win their first round against Ohio State in the NCAA tournament for the team's first national tournament win in four years. She led the team in minutes played during her junior and senior seasons.[1]
Haugen began training with the North Carolina Courage as a non-roster invitee in the 2024 preseason. In June 2024, she represented the club at the first women's The Soccer Tournament, starting every game and scoring one winning goal as the Courage team reached the final.[3] Haugen was signed by the Courage first team on July 16, 2024, on a national team replacement contract while players were away for the Paris Olympics.[4] She was waived by the Courage on August 21.[5]
Haugen has United States and Norwegian citizenship. She began representing Norway in youth international matches at the under-16 level.[2] [6] In October 2019, she was invited to train with the United States under-18 team, but chose instead to play for the Norway under-19 team in 2020 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification. She appeared in all three matches and helped hold all three opponents scoreless as Norway topped its qualification group, but the subsequent elite round of the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] [2] She captained the Norway under-18 team in a friendly tournament in the United States in January 2020.[7] She started in friendly matches for the Norway under-23 team in October 2021.[8] [9]
