"We are thrilled to welcome Marina to Richmond, head coach Allison Kwolek said. "She is a fast and aggressive midfielder and a confident young woman. I'm looking forward to her contributing in all aspects of the program."
Miller, a native of Wexford, Pennsylvania, will have three years of eligibility remaining. She played in nine games last year, including four in Big Ten play, scoring her first career collegiate goal against Lehigh. She accounted for six draw controls, with a career-high three against Northwestern.
