The Houston Dash signed North Carolina forward Kate Faasse, winner of the 2024 MAC Hermann Trophy as the top player in women's college soccer.
The deal announced by the NWSL club on Wednesday runs through the 2028 season.
Faasse, 21, finished her career with the Tar Heels with 35 goals in 88 appearances over four seasons. She led Division I with 20 goals in 27 matches in 2024 as North Carolina captured the national championship.
'Kate is an elite competitor with a proven ability to change games in high-pressure moments,' Dash president Angela Hucles Mangano said. 'Her production, consistency and success at the national level speak volumes about what she can bring to the Houston Dash. Her winning mentality and attacking presence will elevate our group and play an important role as we continue to build toward the future in Houston.'
Faasse recorded 11 goals during her final season in Chapel Hill in 2025.
'I'm incredibly excited to begin my professional career with the Houston Dash,' she said. 'Houston is an ambitious club with a clear vision, and I'm looking forward to continuing my growth in a professional environment. I'm ready to work, compete and contribute however I can to help the team succeed this season.'
