Senior
6-1

Taylor proved worthy of her preseason all-NEC selection during the season’s opening weekend.  Sacred Heart’s senior forward averaged a double-double over a pair of double-digit victories.  Shooting 60 percent from the field (12-of-20), Taylor averaged 14 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 steals per contest in a three-day stretch that featured games against MAAC and Ivy League members.  The 6-foot-1 post player, whose shooting range extends beyond the three-point arc, opened her senior season by putting in 13 points and pulling down 13 boards in a 17-point road win over MAAC member Siena.  Two days later, she led the Pioneers to a 60-42 triumph over Columbia. Nearly recording a second straight double-double, Taylor recorded 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in SHU’s home opener.  The fourth-year Pioneer posted a league-leading 28 double-doubles over the previous two seasons.
