Riley Named SEC Freshman of the Week

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Freshman defender Ella Riley was named SEC Freshman of the Week, the league announced Friday.

Riley played all but six minutes in Arkansas’ dominating 6-0 win over Kentucky Thursday night. She helped her squad to its SEC-leading 11th shutout of the season and was vital in breaking up the Wildcat attack and holding them to a single-digit shot total.

Riley leads all Razorback freshmen with 1,387 minutes.

The weekly honor is the first of her career.

Riley and the Hogs will head to the SEC Tournament as the four seed and face fifth-seeded Vanderbilt on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. CT. The match will be televised on SEC Network.
