Miller scored a career-high 32 points with 10 rebounds in the Terps' top 20 win at No. 17 Baylor Sunday. Miller scored 12 points in the second quarter to put the Terps up 10 at half. After a 9-0 run by the Bears to start the second half, Miller answered with another 12 points in the third quarter. She hit a key three with one second left in the period to help put the Terps up six. With Maryland up by four with 3:00 left, Miller made two key free throws, then three more, down the stretch.
