Early life

[edit]

Taylor attended Hofstra University, earning a degree in rhetoric and public advocacy.[2] In her sophomore year, in 2019, she started all 22 matches and scored nine goals, of which five were game winners.[2] Taylor also started every game in the 2020 season, but the COVID-19 pandemic meant the team played only nine, in the spring of 2021.[2] Her senior year, she started 21 matches, recording 17 goals, tied for second-most in program history, and 11 assists. Her 31 career assists were a program record.[2] In 2021, she was a United Soccer Coaches first-team All American and a MAC Hermann semi-finalist.
