This is the first time since the 2018-19 season that a freshman has earned freshman of the week honors twice in a season.
The freshman from Charlotte started his first conference game of the season and second overall last Wednesday against Radford. He was 6-of-11 from the floor (=54.5 percent) with one three-pointer to help Asheville extend its win streak to six games.
In conference play, Taylor is averaging 9.1 points and 4.6 rebounds and is shooting .456 from the field.
Taylor and the rest of the Bulldogs will return to action on Thursday, Feb. 6, when Asheville hosts Gardner-Webb at 9 p.m. in an ESPNU showdown.
