second player in program history to surpass one thousand kills in a
career. This past season alone, despite missing two-and-a-half weeks
with an ankle injury, Taylor notched 460 kills, plus 148 digs, 42 blocks
and 21 aces. She was named as the Enquirer's Northern Kentucky Player of
the Year and was nominated as Cincinnati Sports Awards' Volleyball
Player of the Year. These are just some of the many awards she has
earned. Her junior year, she was named MVP of the Kentucky State
Tournament and the 9th Region tournament, Northern Kentucky Girls
Volleyball Coaches' Div. II Player of the Year and first-team all-state.
She was also selected to participate in the Under Armor All-American
Camp as well as the USA National Team Development Program in California.
