The freshman from Italy led the Buckeyes to team and sabre conference championships in the CCFC while he made it to the semifinals at the NCAA championship to earn first-team All-American honors and lead Ohio State to a sixth-place finish.

Taylor averaged 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.5 steals per game and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors as she helped lead Ohio State to the regular-season Big Ten championship. She now plays for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, who selected her with the 15th overall pick in this year’s WNBA draft.

She earned four top-10 finishes and seven top-20 finishes in just nine events, earning an individual win with an 8-under-par score at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational.

He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors for the third year in a row.Webster was a star for not one but two Ohio State sports teams this past season.

Her 36 points ranked sixth among all NCAA defensemen while her plus-minus of +71 was 16 points better than any other player in the sport.
