Jade Miller, University of Dallas, Co-Player of the Year

JADE MILLER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS was selected as the conference Co-Player-of-the-Year.

Miller, a freshman from Plano, Texas, currently leads the SCAC in batting with a .472 average heading into this weekend’s conference tournament and is on pace to become just the 12th player in league history to hit .470 or better for an entire season. Her 58 hits lead the SCAC and are the most in by a University of Dallas player in a single-season in program history. She is also in the top 10 in the league in runs (32 – fifth), doubles (nine – seventh), triples (three – fourth), stolen bases (29 – second), total bases (79 – third), on-base percentage (.500 – third) and slugging percentage (.642 – third). Miller is just the third first-year player, and the first since Caitlynn Dykes of Trinity in 2012, to earn at least a share of SCAC Player-of-the-Year honors.

Miller and Kaymee Gooden of Texas Lutheran University each received three votes in the SCAC Player-of-the-Year balloting, while first-year outfielder Sydney Scott of Southwestern University received the remaining first-place vote.
