PITTSBURGH (Jan. 21, 2026)<\/strong> \u2014 The youngest contributor to the inaugural Pittsburgh Riveters SC season will be back in 2026 with forward Anna Korney<\/strong> set for a second year in the USL W League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korney, 16, made an instant impact in her first Riveters appearance, scoring 21 minutes into her senior-level debut with the opening goal of a 3-1 win over Steel City FC. She made three appearances as a 15-year-old in 2025, finishing with a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnna is such an exciting talent and continues to strive to reach the highest levels of the game. Last year, we threw Anna in at the deep end as a 15-year-old, and she grasped the opportunity with both hands,\u201d Riveters head coach Scott Gibson<\/strong> said. \u201cShe is now ready to be part of the Riveters full time after a wonderful year in the RDA. Our Academy is a major pathway to our First Team, and if you’re good enough, you\u2019re old enough to make an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A standout both in the Riverhounds Development Academy and for DuBois Area High School, Korney was part of the U.S. Under-17 Women\u2019s National Team training camp held over the Thanksgiving holiday in Fayetteville, Ga., marking her third year involved in the national team setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Korney became the first Hounds Academy player to win ECNL Conference Player of the Year honors in any age group after claiming the Ohio Valley Conference scoring title as a U16 player. She followed that up in the fall by helping DuBois to its first-ever PIAA semifinal while breaking the school\u2019s career scoring record of 108 goals in the middle of her sophomore season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Riveters are gearing up for their 2026 season beginning this May, and the announcement of the USL W League schedule for the team\u2019s second year is expected in the coming weeks. Follow the team on social media at @RivetersSC and online at riveterssc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
