The Quote
Minneapolis South coach Ahmil Jihad: "Tayler is one of our leaders. I think we’re just an average team without her. She just brings so much to the table, thinks the game through, understands completely what I want to do as far as the game plan. She exercises that on the floor. She carries it out. Her role is very significant."
