A 2019 graduate, Riehl started every match in her Nittany Lion career, including the 2015 national championship team. The 5-foot-8 defender set the NCAA record for career minutes played by a position player.
Riehl was selected in the NWSL Expansion Draft last spring and has been a staple in the Wave's back line, starting 19 of 22 matches.
