Madison Taylor took the field against Syracuse as a surprise on the Northwestern roster. By the time the game was over, she began a historic season that should cement her name as one of the best players in the game.
In her collegiate debut, Taylor scored five goals on what would become the best team in the country. With 38 goals across 15 games, the first-year has continued to impress and expand upon her initial success. Only once, against the formidable Stony Book, did she not score, and only once, against the then-No. 1 UNC, did she have a one-goal game.
