Manning on Slattery:
“Taylor is a skillful attacking player. She can pass, receive, dribble and shoot with great quality. She is a threat to both create chances for her teammates and to score herself. She plays forward most of the time, but has the ability to shine in any of the front two rows. Taylor’s competitive nature is one of her most impressive qualities. She hates to lose. Her overall game fits in perfectly with our team’s style of play and fans will enjoy watching her in a Utah uniform.”
