Savannah DeMelo wasn’t on the field when Racing Louisville and Seattle Reign finished the second half of their match on September 16, but she was on everyone’s mind – and wrist.
After collapsing on the field Sunday night, DeMelo was rushed to a local hospital, where she remained alert and stable. The game was abandoned at halftime, and when both teams returned to the pitch, they did so with purple wristbands for DeMelo.
With SD7 written on the wristbands, a little piece of DeMelo was with her teammates.
