Racing Louisville FC is just one game away from the postseason. One player has made a huge difference since her return to the lineup. Bethany Balcer's return was not for a physical injury, however.

Starting in March of 2025, Balcer decided to take a five-month break to prioritize her mental health and get her mind focused and ready to return. She returned to Racing in August.

She has scored a goal and had an assist in the pivotal month of October. This included a goal in stoppage time against the Chicago Red Stars giving Racing an ever-important point in the standings.
