Racing Louisville defender Courtney Petersen agreed to a new contract through the 2025 season, the NWSL club announced Friday.

Petersen, 26, joined Racing in an August trade with the Houston Dash and would have become a free agent after the season.

“We are thrilled for Courtney to be in Louisville through next season,” Racing general manager Ryan Dell said. “Her experience and impact will continue to push our club forward.”

Petersen has recorded one goal and six assists in 71 NWSL appearances with the Orlando Pride (2020-22), Dash (2023-24) and Louisville. She was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 draft out of the University of Virginia.

“I’m super excited to be continuing my career with a club that has shown such tremendous growth over the last few years on and off the field,” she said. “I know this club has amazing things ahead, and I’m extremely thankful to be a part of it.”
