FMSpro is proud to announce the commitment of Maija Schmidt to NCAA Division I UNLV Rebels women’s soccer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Maija is a 6-foot centre back who currently plays for Vaughan in the OPDL. The 2009-born defender is dominant in the air and brings a strong physical presence on the field. She is technically sound and impressively mobile for her size, making her one of the most well-rounded defenders in her class.

Her profile attracted interest from several programs, but UNLV proved to be the best fit both academically and athletically. Head coach Kacey Bingham is excited about Maija’s addition as she looks to build a competitive squad in her first year and push for a Mountain West Championship.

Off the field, Maija is an excellent student with aspirations to pursue studies in the sciences. Her future is very bright.

Congratulations, Maija, and wishing you all the best in this next chapter!
