She recorded six triple-doubles this past season alone and finished her career with 12, the third-most in NCAA history. She showed continued growth as a scorer, knocking down 73 three-pointers this season after expanding her range during her time at both TCU and Notre Dame. Before arriving in Fort Worth, Miles spent multiple seasons with the Irish, where she led the ACC in assists for three consecutive years.
