Open Extended ReactionsRacing Louisville FC forward Kayla Fischer will serve a three-game suspension for a hair-pulling incident that resulted in a red card on Saturday, NWSL announced on Thursday.
Fischer was ejected in the 67th minute of Racing's 3-2 win over Angel City FC on Saturday after a video review showed her pulling the hair of Angel City FC midfielder Madison Hammond and dragging Hammond to the ground on an Angel City corner kick.
Angel City was awarded a penalty kick, which forward Alyssa Thompson converted to cut Louisville's lead to 3-2, but Racing held on for an important victory in the clash of mid-table teams.
