FORT COLLINS, Colo.-- Taylor Steven, a recent graduate of Wichita State University, has joined the Colorado State women's basketball program as an assistant coach. Head Coach Kristen Holt made the announcement Thursday.
"I'm excited about Taylor joining our staff," Holt said. "Taylor was an outstanding player with a keen understanding of the game and possesses all the intangibles needed to succeed in the coaching ranks."
Steven joins the Rams after a standout career at Wichita State (2004-08), where she led the team from the point guard position. Steven set the program record for single season free-throw percentage (86.7%) as a sophomore and tied for first in career games played at 115 games. She also recorded 154 steals in her career at WSU, 10th on the school's all-time list.
A Wichita, Kan., native, Steven played three seasons under Holt, an assistant at Wichita State from 2003-07, until Holt accepted a job at Colorado State. Steven graduated Magna Cum Laude in December with a bachelor of fine arts in Education. Steven was a scholarship recipient for both academics and athletics while securing a place on the Dean's List all four years at Wichita State. She was also named a member of the Missouri Valley Conference Honor Roll and was a recipient of the MVC Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award.
Steven replaces Tia Davis, who left the program last month to pursue other opportunities.
Steven began work this week.
