Steinbach on Lewis: "Taylor could be an elite attacker in the BIG EAST. She's long and athletic, has played multiple positions and is an improving back court player. We originally recruited her to play in the middle but since then, she's moved to the pin in club and we think she can play just about anywhere and have great college success."
