The Vancouver Rise have signed striker Jessica De Filippo to a contract extension through 2027. De Filippo, who is tied with Elyse Bennett of the Montreal Roses for first in NSL scoring this season with 11 goals and four assists, has been instrumental since joining the club ahead of its inaugural season last year when she helped Vancouver win the first-ever NSL championship. Sporting director Stephanie Labbé noted that De Filippo has developed into one of the league’s top players. The team will face the Roses on Saturday in a crucial match as they aim to secure their spot for the playoffs, currently sitting at 8-10-2 compared to Montreal's 11-4-5 record.
