The redshirt freshman averaged 1.43 kills and 1.43 blocks per set in Xavier's 2-0 weekend on the road.
Against Providence, Boehm totaled five kills and five blocks. She followed up the next day with another five kills and five blocks on .308 hitting at UConn.

Taylor contributed 4.14 kills and 4.50 blocks per set while hitting .404 through both matches over the weekend to earn her first career weekly nod.
The right side hitter is hitting .323 on the season and is the the only non-middle blocker to rank in the league's top-10 hitting percentages.
