"I chose Idaho State for the academic and athletic opportunities," Miller said. "The Communications program possesses a beneficial backbone for me to pursue a job within the media workplace. As far as ISU's athletic aspirations and habits, they fit my criteria in what I wanted in a college. The university also drew my interest as it is a true college town, an experience I look to enjoy. Although I didn't visit the campus, I have immense trust for Coach Stuart and Coach Berrett that they will guide me in being the best player and person I can be. I am very excited to be a Bengal and contribute to the women's volleyball program."
