Whitney Gentry dished out the pass to Taylor in the third minute of the contest.
Brooke Dodd extended the lead out to two with her first goal of the year in the 33rd minute. The freshman was making just her fourth appearance of the season.
Josie Jarvis was credited with her first assist of the season and her third at NSU.
Taylor re-emerged with another score in the second half, landing her third goal of the campaign and her 15th with the program.
Pittsburg State avoided its fourth shutout of the season with an 88th-minute goal, while the three goals allowed were a first for the program. The Gorillas dropped to 4-4-2 and 0-2-2 MIAA with the loss.
Northeastern State will be in action just one time next week on Friday when they will go to Missouri Western.
