A fullback from Norman, Miller was one of the top defenders in the country throughout her career and in particular during the 2009 season when she spearheaded a defensive unit that recorded 13 shutouts and allowed 20 goals in 23 games.
Miller played in every game (92) with 89 starts at UCO and was a four-time first-team All-LSC selection, collecting league Defensive Player of the Year recognition the last two years. She also earned first-team All-South Central Region honors the past two years.
Miller joins Carmen Davis (2007), Melissa Terry (2006), Lindsey Hull (2005) and Stephanie Gulisao (2004) as UCO soccer All-Americans.
The Bronchos went 14-6-3 in 2009, winning the LSC Tournament championship and qualifying for the Division II national tournament for the seventh time in 10 years.
