Riley Tiernan didn't get a call from 12 of the 14 NWSL teams.

Tiernan accepted an invitation to training camp with Angel City and now she’s showing the others what they missed.

The 22-year-old is leading all rookies with five goals, ranking second in the league overall.

It wouldn’t be the first time Tiernan has used others’ opinion of her to fuel her fire. “I love this game because it does reward talent that works hard,” Wilson said. “ Riley ’s a talent, she is working hard, and eventually that value will be recognized.” This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times ..
