In a 79-54 win at Northwestern Thursday, she scored nine of her 18 points in the Terps' second-quarter surge. They trailed by four at the end of the first quarter, then Miller took over.

Maryland outscored Illinois 31-8 in the third to lead by 14. Miller finished the day with 31 points, one point shy of her career-high, nine rebounds, four assists and she went 7-7 at the foul line.
 
Miller was named Big Ten Player of the Week on Nov. 21, 2022. She has been named to the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll four times in her career, most recently the last two weeks straight.
