Name: Kaylee Miller
Position: Defense
Hometown: Cypress, Calif.
The UC Davis women‘s water polo team started the 2009 season with a very talented freshmen class, but no one knew how they would perform.
Freshman defender Kaylee Miller proved any doubts were erroneous as she led the talented first years on way to the Big West Conference Freshman of the Year honors.
The Cypress, Calif. native and member of the 2006 national team, finished the season with 33 goals, third among Big West freshman, and 15 steals.
She was particularly effective against conference opponents, scoring hat tricks in games against Cal State Northridge and Pacific during the regular season as well as netting two goals apiece against UC Irvine and Northridge in the conference tournament.
Along with Miller‘s Big West Freshman of the Year accolades, she was also given an all-conference honorable mention honor.
