Miller spent the 2015 season as an assistant coach with the women's soccer program, helping lead the club to its first NCAA Tournament win following another Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Championship and ASUN Regular Season Title.
Miller, a winter 2014 graduate of FGCU and a four-year member of the women’s soccer team began her career with the Eagles in 2011, where she earned a position on the ASUN All-Freshman Team after tallying 11 points in her rookie campaign. Miller went on to record 30 points with six goals and 18 assists as a four-year starter. She led the team with eight assists as a junior and added five assists and a goal last season to finish her career with 18 assists and six goals. The 18-assist mark ranks fourth all-time in Eagles’ program history, while her performance as an upperclassman earned her a position on the All A-Sun Second Team following the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
A native of New Jersey, she started 71 games for FGCU and appeared in 82 contests, mostly with the back line, to rank second among all-time players for FGCU. She also ranks second in minutes, having played 6,500 minutes.
