Taylor earns Choice Hotels NEC Rookie of the Week honors for the third occasion this season as Sacred Heart remains red hot. The freshman forward nearly averaged a double-double (14.5 ppg, 9.0 rpg) in back-to-back NEC road victories that extended the Pioneers’ overall win streak to eight in a row. The first-year Pioneer posted a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds during a 69-57 road win over defending NEC regular season champion Quinnipiac. Her last of three three-point field goals against the intrastate rival Bobcats put the game out of reach with less than three minutes remaining. Taylor began the week by contributing 10 points, six boards, and two assists to an 80-68 victory at Wagner. A consistent contributor throughout Sacred Heart’s 9-0 start to conference play, Taylor has been on fire from downtown where she 5-of-8 shooting last week.
