Overview
- The Sept. 14 match at Lumen Field was halted in first-half stoppage time after the Racing Louisville midfielder collapsed and was taken by ambulance to a Seattle hospital.
- Louisville says DeMelo is stable, awake and undergoing evaluation, with family and medical staff at her side.
- The game will restart Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET behind closed doors from the point of suspension, streaming on Paramount+ and NWSL+.
- League officials suspended the contest in consultation with both clubs and medical staff, emphasizing player safety following scrutiny earlier this season over a separate collapse involving Angel City’s Savy King.
- This was DeMelo’s second in-game medical incident of 2025; she previously exited a March match and later disclosed Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism, with no confirmed link to Sunday’s episode.
