Taylor Edwards joined the Nebraska women's basketball program as a graduate assistant manager in 2023-24, helping the Huskers to their best season in a decade.
Edwards was a part of a Nebraska team that secured a first-round NCAA Tournament victory over Texas A&M and made a four-game run to the Big Ten Championship Game - both firsts for the program since 2014. Nebraska finished with a 23-12 overall record that included 17 wins over postseason tournament qualifiers (8 NCAA, 3 WBIT, 6 WNIT). The Huskers also notched a regular-season win over No. 2 Iowa - matching the highest ranked opponent the Huskers had ever defeated. The victory came in front of the first sellout crowd for a women's basketball game in the history at Pinnacle Bank Arena with well over 15,000 on hand to watch Nebraska complete a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback for an 82-79 win.
A four-year contributor at Montana State-Billings from 2015-16 through 2018-19, Edwards spent one season as an assistant at MSU-Billings in 2019-20, before spending three seasons at Carroll College as an assistant coach.
In 2022-23, Carroll College finished with a 27-6 record as one of the top NAIA teams in the nation. It followed a 27-8 campaign for the Fighting Saints in 2021-22. The Helena, Mont., school also advanced to the 2021 NAIA Tournament with a 21-3 record in 2020-21.
Edwards earned her bachelor's degree as a health and human performance major at MSU-Billings in 2019. A graduate of Charles M. Russell High School in Great Falls, Mont., Edwards was a three-time Academic All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference selection at Montana State-Billings. The 5-9 guard played in 92 games during her college career, despite missing much of her sophomore season with an injury. She started her first 11 games as a sophomore before the injury and made nine starts as a senior.
As a junior in 2017-18, Edwards helped MSUB to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight after helping the Yellowjackets capture the West Regional championship. She also helped Montana State-Billings to the 2018 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Tournament title.
