Emma Miller • Allegheny • Senior forward • Elryia, Ohio/Lake Ridge Academy
Miller scored five goals to lead Allegheny to a 5-0 win over Hiram and a 7-0 win at Alfred State … She scored twice against Hiram and had a hat trick with three goals against Alfred State, including the game-winner in both matchups … Miller has multiple goals in three consecutive games and a combined 19 points in those contests … She is among national leaders in Division III in goals and points, as she's tied for fourth in goals and tied for fifth in points … Led by Miller's outburst, it marked the first time since 1994 and only the second time in team history that Allegheny has scored 5+ goals in back-to-back-to-back games.
