It remains to be seen where Lauren Sesselmann (Green Bay Notre Dame) will be playing soccer this year, but it won't be with FC Kansas City.

The Canadian national team defender was selected by the Houston Dash with the third selection in the National Women's Soccer League expansion draft Friday.

However, there is a disagreement as to whether Sesselmann is under contract with the Canadian Soccer Association – the U.S., Canadian and Mexican federations pay the salaries of selected national team players, including Sesselmann, to help fund the second-year league.

The Daily Wiz, which covers soccer in Kansas City, reported that the NWSL said Sesselmann is indeed under contract while her agent, Chuck Vine, has claimed otherwise through a series of tweets (@ChuckVine). The Daily Wiz also reported, citing sources, that Sesselmann has offers from teams in the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Read the full report

Last season, the 30-year-old Sesselmann played in 19 of FC Kansas City's 22 regular-season matches and the team's lone playoff match, a 3-2 extra-time loss to eventual NWSL champion Portland Thorns FC.

The Dash passed on three other state players who were available: FC Kansas City midfielder-forward Casey Loyd (Cedarburg) and defender-midfielder Katie Kelly (Marquette) and the rights to forward-midfielder Lindsay Tarpley (Madison), which are held by the Chicago Red Stars.

• If Bayern Munich striker Sarah Hagen (Appleton North/UW-Milwaukee) decides to come to NWSL in the future, it was learned that FC Kansas City holds her rights. The league tweeted that information, apparently mistakenly, after Houston selected Sesselmann – teams were allowed to add another player to their protected lists after one of their unprotected players was picked. Hagen is one of FC Kansas City's discovery players; however, those names are not supposed to be made public. The forward, who currently is in camp with the U.S. women's national team in Carson, Calif., has 38 goals in 50 appearances in all competitions since joining Bayern Munich in January 2012 and is third in the Frauen-Bundesliga with seven goals in 10 matches this season. She's under contract with the German club through May. On Twitter: @sarahapplehagen
