Natalie Miller is the type of player that every coach in America wants to have. Although she doesn't score a lot of points, Miller does all the little things that don't show up in the box score and is often asked to guard one of the oppositions top offensive players. Despite being undersized at 5-foot-10, Miller is not afraid to go inside and battle for rebounds or dive on the floor after loose balls. As one of just two seniors on the roster, Miller will be counted on to provide guidance and leadership to the younger players on the roster.
