Emory University softball's Tyler Miller was honored by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) organization Tuesday afternoon by being tabbed as a member of the Academic All-America Third Team.
Miller becomes the eighth softball player to earn a spot on the CSC (formerly CoSIDA) Academic All-America team and the first since Taylor Forte took home the honor in 2017.
Miller is the 12th Emory Eagle to be selected as a CSC Academic All-American this academic calendar and brings the total to 210 Academic All-Americans in the history of the Athletics department.

During her last season in an Emory uniform, Miller established herself as a leader to her younger teammates. She finished the season with a .367 batting average over 38 games. She led the Eagles and the UAA with 45 RBI and with 7 home runs. Miller also lead the team with 15 doubles this season and a .648 slugging percentage.
In addition to Miller, teammates Kayla Lang, Page Nellis and Natalie Swift were also named to the CSC Academic All-District Team earlier this month and proceeded to be placed on the All-America ballot for voting. CSC Academic All-America Teams are nominated and voted on by College Sports Communicators and Sports Information Directors across all Division III institutions.
The CSC Academic All-America team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. To be nominated, student-athletes must be a key member of their respective teams, maintain a 3.50 grade point average, be of sophomore standing or higher, and have attended their current institutions for at least one year.
