sixth in school history. In 2011, Nebraska posted a school-record .391 on-base percentage,
nine points better than the previous record. The Huskers nearly matched that mark in
2012, drawing a then-school-record 204 walks to post a .389 on-base percentage. In 2013,
Nebraska drew a school-record 215 walks while reaching base at a .380 clip, the fourthbest mark in school history.
Individually, Miller has guided 14 Huskers to a total of 18 all-conference honors in only
five seasons. Three Husker seniors earned all-conference accolades in 2009 and three
underclassmen, including one freshman, took home All-Big 12 honors in 2010. Brechtel,
Ashley Guile and Thomason each earned NFCA All-Midwest Region accolades in 2010
after no Husker hitter had made the all-region team the previous three seasons. In 2011,
the Edwards twins each earned All-Big 12 honors, while Taylor was a first-team all-region
pick and a third-team All-American. Taylor was also one of 25 finalists for the USA Softball
Player-of-the-Year award. In 2012, Gabby Banda, Courtney Breault, Tatum Edwards and
Thomason each earned All-Big Ten accolades. Both Edwards twins were unanimous firstteam All-Big Ten selections in 2013, while Breault repeated as a second-team selection. A
pair of underclassmen - Alicia Armstrong and Jordan Bettiol - also garnered second-team
All-Big Ten recognition in 2013.
Prior to coming to Lincoln, Miller spent the previous eight seasons as an assistant coach
at Colorado State, where she served as the Rams’ hitting coach, recruiting coordinator and
camps director, while also instructing the catchers. After a successful stint in Fort Collins
where she established herself as one of the country’s premier hitting coaches, Miller has
continued each of those duties in Lincoln.
A native of Greeley, Kan., Miller helped Colorado State’s hitters re-write the CSU and
Mountain West Conference record books. A total of 14 school records fell during Miller’s
eight seasons. Each of the Rams’ top-five single-season marks for doubles, home runs and
slugging percentage were established during Miller’s tenure. CSU also claimed four of the
top five single-season records for batting average, runs scored, hits and RBIs under Miller.
On the conference level, Colorado State established a total of 44 MWC offensive
records while Miller was at the school. Additionally, the Rams led the league in doubles
three times, batting average and slugging percentage twice and hits and total bases once.
Nationally, CSU featured one of the nation’s most powerful offensive attacks in Miller's
final three seasons. Colorado State was the only team in the country to rank in the top 20
nationally in home runs per game, doubles per game and slugging percentage each of the
last three years. The Rams also ranked in the top 20 nationally in average three times in
her last four seasons, including a pair of top-five finishes.
Over her last five years, Colorado State displayed power and a knack for scoring runs
that was nearly unmatched in Division I. In the final 2008 NCAA statistical rankings,
Miller’s last Colorado State team ranked fourth in Division I in home runs per game (1.33),
sixth in doubles per game (1.69), seventh in slugging percentage (.522), ninth in scoring
(5.92 runs per game) and 14th in batting average (.313).
The Rams ranked among the nation’s top home run-hitting clubs for the fourth time in
five seasons in 2008. Miller had previously guided CSU
