San Diego Wave FC announced today that the club has acquired goalkeeper Hillary Beall from Racing Louisville. In exchange, the Wave has traded the club’s natural second-round pick in the 2025 NWSL Draft to Louisville.

“Hillary is a player that we’ve seen continuing to develop since being drafted and will add competition to our goalkeeping corps,” said San Diego Wave FC General Manager Molly Downtain. “We’re excited to have her join us back in Southern California and wish her a warm welcome to the club.”

Beall, 24, signed with Racing Louisville following a successful career at University of Michigan. The Laguna Beach native was loaned to Western United in Australia’s A-League in 2023, where she won the league’s Goalkeeper of the Year award and helped the club reach the Grand Final in its first year of top-flight soccer.

Beall is currently on loan with Western United.
