Hawaii’s do-it-all guard with game-changing clutch genes
Janevia Taylor was the kind of guard who could bend a game to her will: in the 2006-07 season, she led Hawaii in assists (3.3 per game) and steals (1.6) while ranking second on the team in scoring at 11.0 points per game, and she also earned Offensive Player of the Year honors after averaging 12.3 points with a team-best 3.5 assists in 2005-06.[1][5] The separators? She was a steady creator, a disruptive defender, and a proven late-game shot-maker—remember the clutch 20-point, 11-rebound outing that pushed Hawaii past Wake Forest in overtime, plus preseason All-WAC recognition in 2007.[2][7]
