Lexi Miller‘s junior season was one for the record books. During the 2024-25 campaign, she rewrote Columbia College’s single-season three-point record with 91 makes from beyond the arc, a top-10 total in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). A starter throughout the entire season long, Miller averaged 14.7 points per game, finishing second in scoring behind only Mallory Shetley — now playing Division I basketball at Western Illinois.

Lexi also reached a career milestone during the American Midwest Conference (AMC) Championship game last season, scoring her 1,000th point as the Cougars took home their fourth-straight AMC title. Now in her final season for the Cougars, she has a shot to become the career three-point field goals leader at CC (81 treys away entering the 2025-26 season). Whether it’s putting in extra reps on the hardwood or getting additional prep in for her classes, Lexi’s determination has been evident during her time at Columbia College.
