Olivia Miller received interest from Division II college basketball teams in the 2025 offseason.
After traveling to Detroit for a campus visit on June 30, she committed to becoming a Warrior at Wayne State University on July 3.
“Thank you to all the coaches and trainers who have poured into me on and off the court!” Miller said on X. “I truly appreciate all of you. Thank you to my teammates and my opponents for bringing out my best. I am excited about my senior year with my Shoregals. Most of all, thank you to my parents and family who have put in endless time over the years of traveling all around, with long days in the gyms, tough conversations and keeping me grounded and guided by faith.”
I am Blessed. How to top a State Championship game:

Miller was one of Avon Lake’s two All-Ohioans — she was named Division III All-Ohio special mention.
She averaged 10.2 points per game with six rebounds and 1.7 assists.
Defense is a staple in the Shoregals’ program, and Miller was a defensive anchor on the wing and in the post at 5-foot-10.

The Shoregals went 23-6 (12-2 in SWC).
Avon Lake’s defense conceded 34.6 points per game. It led the Shoregals to the Division III state championship game appearance, their first since winning it all in Division II in 1994.
Miller and teammate, post Molly Milligan, are the only returning starters.
Avon Lake recently competed in the 2025 Midwest Live and played Perrysburg, Streetsboro, Toledo Start and Massillon Perry.
At the time, Miller had interest from the Warriors, Malone and Ursuline. She received an offer at Wayne State on her campus visit.
Miller is a two-sport athlete who made all-county and all-district honors in softball.
Wayne State went 20-12 (13-7 in GLIAC). The Warriors lost to Grand Valley State in the conference tournament semifinals. They also lost to
Grand Valley State in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional tournament.
