A four-year varsity starter, Lee handed out 27 assists during a road match against South Johnston. The effort pushed her past the 1,000-assist mark for her career. She has recorded several 20-plus assists outings this season, but her career high is 40 set during her freshman season.

Saints’ head coach Hannah Walker said, “I don’t have enough good things to say about Taylor. She is everything a coach looks for in a player. She leads by example by always giving 100 percent, being a good teammate and respecting her coaches. Whatever she puts her mind to she does well, including school, sports and hobbies. She is a one-of-a-kind player and person.”
