Taylor continued the season-opening tear that has her ranked atop the NEC leader board in rebounding and third in scoring. The 6-foot-1 forward came up one rebound short of what would have been her third double-double of the week. Leading the Pioneers in closing out a 3-0 week that followed the team’s first loss of the season back on Nov. 26, Taylor turned in a 26-point, nine-rebound effort at NEC Merritt Parkway rival Quinnipiac. The preseason all-NEC selection was 9-for-15 (60 percent) shooting from the floor against Quinnipiac, a mark that was actually a tad lower than the .606 field goal percentage she posted over the entire course of the week. Although she could not complete the hat trick in the 74-65 triumph over the Bobcats, Taylor still averaged a double-double of 20.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per contest last week. She put up 19 points, on 8-for-9 shooting, and 11 rebounds in a convincing 55-33 triumph over America East member Stony Brook before opening NEC play with the 42nd double-double of her career. Taylor accounted for 15 points and 12 boards in a 53-40 win over Central Connecticut. Despite touching the ball nearly every time down the floor, Taylor turned it over only five times in three games. She accounted for 33 percent of the team’s scoring last week (60 of 182 pts.).
