FGCU’s battle-tested sharpshooter with a comeback story
Taylor Gradinjan was one of FGCU’s most reliable perimeter weapons, finishing her Eagles career ranked among the program’s all-time leaders in three-pointers made and games played, while also overcoming two ACL injuries to become a captain-level presence. In the 2017-18 season, she averaged 10.2 points and 3.4 rebounds while knocking down a conference-leading 88 threes, which tells you the obvious: she can really shoot. The less obvious fit factor is the toughness and steadiness—she brought veteran poise, high basketball IQ, and a proven ability to bounce back from adversity, making her the kind of guard coaches trust in big moments.
