Taylor II claims his first NEC Player of the Week honor after enjoying the finest two-game stretch of his young career. He averaged 18.0 points on a blistering 73.7 percent mark from the field and 80.0 percent showing from the stripe over just 24.5 minutes per outing. Taylor added 5.5 rpg for the Seahawks who recorded a home sweep to extend their win streak to three and pull into a three-way tie for fourth place in the NEC standings. He netted a game-high 17 points on 7-11 shooting in Friday’s 72-50 win over CCSU, then sank 7-8 shots and tied for game-high honors with 19 points as the Seahawks posted a 68-58 victory over SHU two days later. Taylor has scored in double figures in four of his last five games, averaging 13.4 ppg over that stretch. The Brooklyn product has contributed 11.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg and shot 62.7 percent against league rivals, and is at 7.6 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 58.2 percent accuracy on the year.
