<p>Racing Louisville midfielder Savannah DeMelo appeared to faint late in the first half of her team's road match against Seattle Reign, which was abandoned Sunday night.</p>

<p>DeMelo, 27, slowly took a seated position on the field of play two minutes into first-half stoppage time and a teammate was attending to her while a referee called for trainers to check her out. Several seconds later, DeMelo collapsed while a second teammate was holding her arm in an effort to keep her upright.</p>

<p>DeMelo was diagnosed with Graves' disease last year and revealed her health struggles earlier this season after she left a match early due to chest tightness and dizziness. According to the Mayo Clinic, Graves' disease is an immune system condition that causes hyperthyroidism.</p>

<p>Racing Louisville termed DeMelo's episode a "medical emergency" in a statement after the match was abandoned.</p>

<p>"Savannah, who received immediate on-field care from medical personnel, is stable and alert. She was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation," the team's statement said.</p>

<p>"The remainder of the game will be rescheduled for a later date, and further updates will be provided as appropriate."</p>

<p>The match was scoreless at the time of DeMelo's emergency.</p>

<p>DeMelo has played for Racing Louisville since 2022 and has made seven appearances for the U.S. women's national team, including at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.</p>
