One of the newest members of the Dash’s defensive unit, Erin Simon has experienced quite an interesting journey to get to Houston. Simon missed her entire senior season in high school with an ACL tear, started all but six matches as a walk-on freshman at Syracuse University, and went undrafted after graduation, but earned a professional contract with Sky Blue FC through their open tryouts. The defender played for the FA Cup in Wembley Stadium against Manchester City during her time with West Ham United, her last stop prior to joining James Clarkson’s squad earlier this year, but throughout all those changes in her career, she has always had the love and support of one of her biggest heroes, her brother Jake.
