HIGH SCHOOL
Oregon's highest ranked recruit in the class of 2019 at No. 23 on the PrepVolleyball.com Senior Aces list ... Described by PrepVolleyball.com as a "late blooming Monster who is just starting to reach the very tip of her enormous potential ... A second-team all-state selection for Churchill High School in 2017 before being selected as the 2018 Midwestern League player of the year after a stellar senior season ... Head coach Matt Ulmer: "I love that we will have a homegrown Duck on our roster. Taylor represents our community so well and bleeds green and yellow. I'm excited to see our fans embrace Taylor as she follows her dream of competing for Oregon. Taylor has all of the tools to become one of the most feared players out there."
