Taylor Named Inside Lacrosse Media All-American
5.21.21 | Women's Lacrosse
PHILADELPHIA - Temple lacrosse defender Courtney Taylor has been named Inside Lacrosse Media All-American Honorable Mention, as announced Friday afternoon.
Taylor was recently named First-Team All-Region by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA). The senior has had one of the best seasons in recent Temple lacrosse history and was invited to the 2021 USA Women's Lacrosse National Team tryouts next month.
Taylor led the nation in ground ball pickups (67) and finished second in caused turnovers (42). She also led all defenders in Lacrosse Reference's Expected Goals Allowed (ELO) stat for nearly the entire season by a wide margin. The Chalfont, Pa. native helped lead Temple to its first NCAA tournament berth since 2008 and first tournament win since 1998.
Taylor is the first Owl to earn All-American honors since Whitney Richards was named to the All-American Third-Team in 2008.
