Watkins on Riley: "When Giana first described herself to us, she said she was 'Fast and likes to score goals'. We couldn't agree more! G is strong and explosive and has a keen ability to be lethal in the box. She's a player that you want on your team and never want to have to play against, so we couldn't be more excited for her to officially be a Zag!"
