SPRINGFIELD, Mo.— Drury head coach Molly Miller garnered another national award as she was named the NCAA-II Coach of the Year by the recruiting website World Exposure Report. Earlier this week, she was also honored as the US Marine Corps/NCAA-II Coach of the Year for the second straight season by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
 
Miller led the Lady Panthers to an undefeated season at 32-0, the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season title with a 20-0 league record, the team's fourth straight GLVC tournament championship, and a number one national ranking. 2019-20 marked Drury's second consecutive undefeated regular season. Miller also earned the GLVC Coach of the Year honor for the second year in a row.
 
2019-20 was Miller's sixth year as head coach at Drury, and she owns a career record of 180-17 (.913). Her teams have gone 67-1 in the last two seasons, and they have won at least 30 games for four years in a row, compiling a 128-8 mark over that span. Miller's teams have won 105 out of the 110 games they have played within the GLVC during her six seasons at the helm, and they have never lost a conference game at home having gone 55-0 in league play at the O'Reilly Family Event Center during her tenure.
 
During the 2019-20 campaign, Miller also coached the GLVC Player of the Year in Hailey Diestelkamp, the league's Defensive Player of the Year, Daejah Bernard, and the squad featured four all-conference performers. The Lady Panthers led the nation in scoring margin winning by an average of 28.5 points per game, they were number one in steals (17.3 per game), best in the country in turnover margin (+15.3 per game), and they ranked second nationally in scoring averaging 90.1 points. In addition to her team's accomplishments, Miller also gave birth during the season as the family welcomed their second child, Cy Miller, into the world on Jan. 23.
