In this player profile, we bring you Garden City goalie Taylor Carpentier. In her first year as a starter, the junior has proved more than capable with 116 saves, helping her team to a 15-1 record.
Carpentier has successfully succeeded some stellar lacrosse predecessors at her position. Kelly Weis held the position for four years and was a two-time All-American, and she was followed last year by Megan McDonald, an Under Armour All-American. But Carpentier has held her own.
She helped lead the Trojans soccer team to the Class A semifinals, the basketball team to a county championship, and is now a key part of a lacrosse team in contention for an eighth consecutive state title.
(Note: Garden City hosts Calhoun on Thursday in the Nassau Class B quarterfinals.)
