Early life

[edit]

Riley grew up in Manteca, California.[3] She was a multi-sport athlete at Kimball High School in Tracy, where she played soccer, basketball, and track.[3] She played club soccer for De Anza Force, earning ECNL all-conference honors.[4] She committed to play college soccer for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in her junior year.[5]

College career

[edit]

Riley scored 5 goals with 4 assists in 18 appearances for the Gonzaga Bulldogs as a freshman in 2022, earning West Coast Conference (WCC) all-freshman honors.[3] In her sophomore year in 2023, Riley led the WCC with 12 goals and added 6 assists in 20 games, earning first-team All-WCC honors.[3][6] She scored a hat trick against Pepperdine to clinch Gonzaga's first-ever WCC championship and earn their first NCAA tournament berth since 2005, reaching the second round.[7][8]

While at Gonzaga, Riley also walked on to the school's injury-depleted basketball team, giving them numbers in training and appearing in nine games and posting two blocks as a freshman.[9] In the spring as a sophomore, she joined the Gonzaga track and field team and set the program record in the 200 meters (25.86 s).[10] She also played summer soccer for the California Storm in the USL W League, scoring a goal a game and leading the expansion team to the national playoffs.[11] She later played for Oakland Soul in the USL W League.[12]

Riley transferred to the reigning national champion Florida State Seminoles before her junior year in 2024, occupying a reserve role.[13] While she missed part of the season at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, she played in 14 games and scored 3 goals with 2 assists.[2] She helped Florida State win their fifth consecutive ACC tournament and earn a one seed in the NCAA tournament, where they lost in the second round on penalties.[14] In her senior year in 2025, she played in 15 games and had 2 assists as the Seminoles won their fifth national championship.[2]

Club career

In January 2026, Riley signed her first professional contract with Liga MX Femenil club América.[15] She made her professional debut as a 59th-minute substitute for Sarah Luebbert in a 6–0 win over Necaxa on January 17.[16]

International career

Riley was first called into training with the United States under-20 team in January 2024.[17] She made the roster for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, appearing in four games as the team placed third, its best result since 2012.[15][18] In April 2025, she was called into training with the Mexico under-23 team.[19] Two months later, she trained with the United States under-23 team concurrently with the senior national team.[20]
