The Red Stars dropped points at home on Saturday, and for many fans the result wasn’t the most concerning thing about the game.
During the second half, defender Taylor Comeau collided with Washington midfielder Kristie Mewis. Soon after the incident the referee halted play for a hydration break. Comeau was noticeably struggling after the collision and in the immediate aftermath, and several eyewitness accounts say the player was coughing up blood during the water break. She was substituted moments later and went straight to the locker room. After the full time whistle, an ambulance took her to a nearby hospital.
