The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 5-foot-9 junior midfielder, forward and defender led the Timberwolves to a 19-0-1 record and a second straight Class 5A state championship this past season. Briley scored 12 goals and passed for one of her 10 assists in the team’s 2-0 win over Mill Valley High in the state title game. A two-time First Team All-State selection, she concluded her junior year with 41 goals and 22 assists in her prep soccer career.
Briley has maintained a weighted 4.11 GPA in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Briley intends to ink a financial-aid agreement that paves the way for her to enroll early at Kansas University. She will graduate from high school this December and begin collegiate classes in the spring semester.
Briley has volunteered locally as a youth soccer coach, and she has also donated her time creating and organizing a fundraising campaign to purchase mosquito nets for families in Africa.
