Today the Houston Dash signed Canadian National Team players Sophie Schmidt and Allysha Chapman to new contract. Both players were set to become free agents this offseason. Schmidt signed a two-year extenstion, keeping her at the club through the 2024 season. Chapman signed a one-year extension to keep her in Houston through the end of next season. Both players’ contracts include option years.
Schmidt, who turns 35 next summer, has been a vital piece of the Dash midifeld for some time now. After three seasons in Germany, Schmidt signed with the Dash in 2019. She has made 70 appearances for Houston and scored the club’s first playoff goal last weekend against Kansas City.
