Help Rochester Athletics honor her memory<\/h3>\n

For many years, she held school records for the most goals in a single season (17) and the most career goals (50). She also served as the team\u2019s cocaptain for two years. Nancy worked hard off the field, too, as a dedicated nursing student.<\/p>\n

Christine Joor Mitchell (on left) and Nancy Melvin Taylor (on right).<\/p><\/div>\n

Nancy was a lot of fun, recalls her friend, teammate, and cocaptain, Christine Joor Mitchell \u201986. \u201cI remember that she would wear pinnies to parties\u2014the ones that we would wear during scrimmages. She made them fashionable. She\u2019d also be the first one to get a party going or rally us to go to one\u2014she loved having a good time with her friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating from Rochester, Nancy met her soon-to-be husband, Kip, while working in medical research in Washington, D.C. They married in 1996 and Kip, a lieutenant colonel in the Army, went to work every day at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

Everything changed, though, on September 11, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon\u2014killing Kip and 124 others.<\/p>\n

Nancy was pregnant at the time, with the couple\u2019s second child. Four months after her husband died, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. After a long battle, she died in November 2003 at the age of 39, leaving behind two young sons. That December, Nancy was buried alongside her husband at Arlington National Cemetery. Their boys, now 20 and 18, are being raised by Kip\u2019s brother and his wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cNancy was a dynamic, skilled athlete who led by her expertise and instinctive knowledge of the game,\u201d says Jane Possee, an administrator in the Department of Athletics and Recreation who was Nancy\u2019s field hockey coach. \u201cHer teammates were inspired by her quiet but vibrant enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just three weeks before Nancy died, she was inducted into Rochester\u2019s Athletics Hall of Fame. Many of her college teammate came, as did fellow players from her high school days. Family members and close friends came, too.<\/p>\n

In honor of Nancy and her dedication to Rochester athletics and her lively spirit, the University has launched an effort to name the field hockey locker room after her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a small way people can get involved to give Nancy the recognition she deserves,\u201d adds Possee. \u201cNancy\u2019s name on that locker room can and should last forever, just like her legacy will.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578920429564{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #e6f3fa !important;}”]For more information or to support the locker naming project in honor of Nancy Melvin Taylor, please contact <\/em>Terry Gurnett<\/em><\/a>, associate director of athletics.<\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578922338691{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #e9e5d7 !important;}”]<\/p>\n

A friend remembers<\/h3>\n

Both Christine Joor Mitchell and Nancy Melvin Taylor grew up just outside of Syracuse, N.Y. They met in middle school and started playing field hockey together soon after. Christine recalls some special memories of her friend.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NancyNancy\u2019s Hall of Fame speech<\/em>: \u201cIt was a dark time for her and all of us, but she managed to tell some great stories. Like how Coach Possee would invite the team to her house every Christmas. She would serve us a beautiful meal on her fancy china. Nancy and the rest of us couldn\u2019t believe Jane would trust us with that china\u2014girls who were apt to break things. But, that\u2019s how we were together\u2014we were such a tight community who leaned on each other. We certainly did that day of the induction as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team scrapbooks:<\/em> \u201cFreshmen on the team were assigned to collect memories throughout the season\u2014those books were incredible records of our experiences together and included all sort of things. We cut turf from some opponents\u2019 field and pasted it on the pages. We added candles from birthdays celebrated that year. One year, we added a menu from the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown. Coach Possee took us there when we were playing at Oneonta. I don\u2019t think any of us had ever been anywhere that elegant before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy\u2019s number and her legacy:<\/em> \u201cNancy wore Number 23 and, over the years, a number of students have asked to wear that number because they knew her story and her legacy. They wanted to preserve and honor it. It\u2019s a testament to what Nancy has done for the sport. She was a great role model for those with whom she played as well as for future female athletes.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1578691242765{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;border-top-color: #999999 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}”]<\/p>\n
