A two-time National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Region selection, Riley stands out as one of the greatest players in program history. The two-way talent impressed in the batter's box and in the pitching circle with a combined nine active program records: hits, home runs, wins, strikeouts, earned run average (ERA), starts, complete games, innings pitched, and no-hitters. During her four-year career, Riley batted .383 with 166 hits, nine home runs and 93 runs batted in, while winning 53 games in the circle with 557 strikeouts and a 1.89 ERA in 83 starts. She was a four-time All-Centennial first-team selection and was named to the Centennial Conference Silver Anniversary Team. Riley remains active in the Swarthmore community as an assistant professor in the  Chemistry Department and an assistant softball coach.
