Taylor McGhee is working really hard on and off the field and she's one of those student athletes that commits 100 percent of herself to being a leader in this program which means she's working hard in the weight room, she's working hard during conditioning with our sports performance team. That kind of focus has helped her see gains on the field. Taylor is a leader that we look to on and off the field and today was no exception to that."
