216. Angel City FC Rookie Sensation Riley Tiernan

31 minutes

We're back! After our end-of-summer sabbatical, we had to do things big in our return -- so we headed to the Angel City FC training facility to do our first on-the-road podcast recording, with special guest Riley Tiernan.

From getting a non-roster training camp invite to becoming one of the top goal scorers in the entire NWSL, Tiernan has burst onto the scene in her rookie season with Angel City FC. We discuss her stellar work ethic, how growing up in an athletic family helped shape her playing style, and what her experience with Angel City has been like so far in her young career.
