Bloomsburg Athletics

Erica Miller was a four-year starter and record setting performer for the softball team. She set both school and PSAC records for hits (310), homers (56), RBI (204), doubles (70), runs scored (195), total bases (570), average (.457), slugging percentage (.840) and extra-bases hits (137), several of which still stand. Her 56 home runs were second most all-time in NCAA Division II history at the time of her graduation.

In 2001 Miller hit .477 with 17 homers and 52 RBI. She had 20 doubles, 144 total bases and a .966 slugging percentage. Miller helped lead the Huskies to a record of 44-7, the PSAC championship and a fourth place finish at the NCAA Division II national championships. She was named the National Division II Softball Player of the Year for the 2001 season, the second Bloomsburg player to be named National Player of the Year. Miller was also the Division II softball nominee for the Honda-Broderick Award, symbolic of the nation's top female athlete. 

Miller was also named first-team All-American in 2000 and 2001 and was first-team All Mid-Atlantic Region in 1999 and second-team in 1998. Miller was also a three-time PSAC Eastern Division Athlete of the Year. She was also named the winner of the Joanne McComb Underclass Female Athlete of the Year in 2000 and the Eleanor Wray Senior Female Athlete of the Year in 2001. Miller helped the Huskies to a four-year record of 174-38-1, a PSAC championship and a third and fourth place finish at the NCAA Championships.

Since graduating from Bloomsburg University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice, Miller has been employed with Montgomery County as an adult probation officer for the last 10 years.  She also works part time with troubled youth at St. Gabriel's Hall for the last eight years.  There she works individually with students to help identify behavioral concerns and focuses on alternative activities to help redirect negative behaviors and turn them into a positive. Throughout the years of working with delinquent youth, she decided to go back to school to pursue a career in school counseling.  In May of this year, she earned a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology with a certification in Elementary and Secondary Guidance Counseling from Rosemont College.  

Miller has helped coach and mentor an ASA youth fast-pitch team for a few summers. She has continued playing softball for several recreational teams over the last few years. She misses the competitive nature and dynamic game of fast-pitch softball in comparison to slow-pitch softball, but still enjoys the game itself.  In 2008, Miller was inducted into the District IV Hall of Fame for softball along with fellow Bloomsburg Softball Alumni Megan Hunsinger and Marcie Hickey.
