Seattle struck first via Maddie Mercado in the 19th minute, but Louisville answered before the break when Sears converted a pass from Lauren Milliet to level the score in the 35th minute.
Then, early in the second half, Sears and Milliet connected again — this time off a low cross that Sears finished in the 52nd minute to complete the comeback.
The brace was Sears's second in three games, pushing her to seven goals on the season. Meanwhile, Milliet's two assists made her the first player in Racing Louisville history to reach 10 career assists.

"I can't be more proud of the group and the form that they're currently in," coach Bev Yanez said after her team's win.
