Women's Soccer - Kansas Jayhawks

Former Kansas goalkeeper Melania Pasar has signed a contract to play professionally with Budapest Honvéd FC. Pasar is the 22nd player in program history to play soccer professionally.

Soccer will be back this spring as Kansas will play five exhibition games over a six-week period beginning in March. The five matches will be the first opportunity for fans to see the team under new Head Soccer Coach Nate Lie.

Former Kansas Soccer midfielder Rylan Childers and defender Kaela Hansen have signed contracts with clubs in Europe. Childers has signed an 18-month contract with Odense Boldklub Q in Denmark and Hansen signed a deal for the 2024 season with an option for 2025 with Kuopion Palloseura in Finland.
