One of the top scorers and shooters in program history, Taylor Wilson ’13 completed her fourth season as an assistant coach with the Manhattanville women’s basketball program in 2018-19.
In Wilson's four seasons as an assistant coach, the program has posted a 63-38 record, a .624 winning percentage, including an 18-7 record in 2017-18 (.720 winning percentage), the highest single-season winning percentage for the program since 1981-82.
Wilson graduated sixth in program history with 1,213 career points and currently sits ninth all-time at the school. As a senior under current head coach Kate Vlahakis, she averaged a Freedom Conference-best 19.0 points per game and ranked seventh on the school’s single-season list with 456 points to earn All-Freedom Conference Second Team honors -- including a program-record 60 three pointers. She scored her 1,000th career point with a career performance at Wilkes University January 12, 2013, netting a career-high 32 points that sits eighth on the school’s single-game list.
The two-time team captain left as and still remains the most accurate shooter in school history from both the free-throw line and three-point line. She hit 83.7 percent (226-of-270) of her shots from the line, including three of the school’s top-four single-season percentages, and also connected at a 34.8 percent (171-of-491) clip from beyond the arc as well. She still leads the program in three-pointers made (171).
Since graduation, Wilson has coached two AAU seasons for the Metro Elite Rockland Rockets, as well served as an assistant with the AAU Pearl River Pirates and also coaching CYO basketball with St. Margaret's Elementary School in Pearl River. She is currently a facilities and recreation assistant for Division I Iona College in New Rochelle, N.Y.
Wilson graduated from Manhattanville in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in business management and completed her master's in sport business management in 2018.
