ATHENS, Ga. ---- Senior forward Ashley Miller has been a consistent power player throughout her career at UGA. Ever since her breakout rookie season, the Lake Mary, Fla., native has had success with such accomplishments as scoring a team-leading four goals and being named to the SEC All-Freshman team in 2008. She followed with another great season becoming the one of only four Georgia players to have a multi-goal game in postseason play in the Bulldogs win over UNCW in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. She played in all 21 games of the 2010 season, and so far in 2011 Miller continues the pressure as she is tied for the second-most goals on the team. She shares her thoughts on the season and her personal goals in this edition of 2011 Georgia Soccer Q&A.
