“Riley is a game-changing player. She is a danger to score every time she gets the ball in the attacking third of the field. Many people assume [Walt Whitman] is so stacked with players that Riley is just one of the pieces. But Riley is the one that brings all those pieces together and makes them work up to their full potential.”
