Conetta's Take: Also known as "The Wall," Taylor led the Sharks last year in her freshman campaign with the most blocks during the season. Taylor will be helping out the quick offense in the middle this year. One of the smaller middles in the GNAC Conference, with one of the quickest approaches and arm swings Simmons Volleyball has ever seen. Count on Taylor to rack up the blocks in the middle yet again this season. Taylor will be using her quickness to dominate the middle position this season.
