Coach Long’s comments on Riley and her teammate Elliot Nance recently signing to play softball at the college level: “The very quiet Riley has always let her game speak for itself. She has put in hours on hours to get where she is now. Elliot has set records in the conference with her pitching ability. She also has put in the time to be in the position she is now to play at the next level. Both girls are fierce competitors, great teammates and very coachable. They both are following in the footsteps of former players and are opening doors for future players for our program. And we have a whole season with them still to play as Senators!” - West Washington Head Softball Coach, Chris Long
