All season, Riveros has been a staple of consistency for the Fighting Scots’ ascension into national prominence with back-to-back weeks ranks in the United Soccer Coaches Poll at No. 11.
 
In a lineup full of impressive offensive talents, Riveros stands out as a leading contender for conference player of the year consideration as the league leader in points (23) and goals (10).
 
His latest efforts helped Ohio Valley to a pair of road wins at Walsh and Malone as he scored three times between both contests.
 
Riveros scored two goals against Walsh as the Fighting Scots won 3-1. Teammate Alex Horveno assisted all three OVU goals as Riveros found the net for the first and final scores of the contest.
 
Riveros’ 10th goal of the season was a game winner in a shutout effort vs. Malone. He scored just short of 10 minutes elapsed in regulation before the Fighting Scots won 4-0.
