Riley had a great performance in Arcadia’s 3-0 win over Lee Williams last night, helping her team get off to a strong start in the postseason. As one of Arcadia’s top offensive weapons, Riley is someone the team will continue to rely on to generate points and provide a consistent scoring threat throughout each set. She averaged around 2.6 kills per set during the regular season, but stepped up her production in the play-in matchup, recording more kills per set while also hitting at a significantly higher efficiency. That combination of increased volume and efficiency is exactly what Arcadia will need from her as the competition gets tougher. The postseason requires another level of consistency, confidence, and execution, and Riley will need to continue bringing that extra gear if Arcadia hopes to make a run. She faces a challenging matchup in the next round as the Titans head south to take on Sahuarita.
