In 2011, she went one better, ending the season in 3rd place behind Caroline Allen and Colorado rider Sarah Duke.

The 2012 season started well for Hassler, a pair of wins at the opening two rounds in California set her up for a good season. Rounds 3 and 4 didn't go quite as planned but the title chase was back on track following a 2nd place and a win in Ohio. The final two rounds in Rhode Island saw Rachel take another win and a runner up place to bag her first NATC Women's Title ahead of Caroline Allen.

This year the TDN was held in Andorra and the American team consisted of Hassler, Duke and Madeline Hoover. They put in a good performance and finished in 8th place.

After the series was split into East and West for the 2015 season, a repeat performance saw Hassler win the NATC West title ahead of TDN teammate Hoover, with Caroline Altman finishing in 3rd.
