Lauryn Taylor Shatters NCAA Rebound Record with 44 in a Game

The Francis Marion senior's historic performance breaks a nearly four-decade-old record and highlights her exceptional athletic ability.

Lauryn Taylor, a senior at Francis Marion, set a new NCAA record by grabbing 44 rebounds in a single game, surpassing the previous record of 40.
The record-breaking performance occurred during a game against North Greenville, where Taylor also scored a career-high 34 points.
Taylor's achievement breaks a record that had stood since 1983, previously held by Deborah Temple of Delta State.
At 5-foot-11, Taylor's rebounding prowess is notable given her height, especially in comparison to past legends known for their towering stature.
Taylor's historic night also included posing with a piece of paper displaying '44' to commemorate her achievement, echoing Wilt Chamberlain's famous 100-point game celebration.
