The North Carolina keeper, recently named Gatorade Player of the Year, delivered an exceptional season from start to finish. Throughout the campaign, she recorded 121 saves on 128 shots faced. Resulting in a remarkable 94.5% save percentage and 17 shutouts. Additionally, she showcased her versatility by scoring three goals of her own. Her consistent impact on both ends of the field highlights why she stands out as a top prospect in her class.

Riley is a talented and promising goalkeeper who helps her team perform at a high level. Confident and intelligent, she makes the box entirely hers. She’ll rush out her box to cut out danger without appearing too worried. Her ability to come rushing out is also applied for danger in the box. She comes out for crosses, claiming them constantly and helping her team regain possession from deep. When her defenders need to offload pressure, she offers a helping hand in booting the ball forward. If she’s under pressure, she remains calm and finds a way out. Her kicks are also impressive, with the weakest ones falling just before midfield. Some are so powerful that they reach the final third, generating danger from her own end.
