Last November, Maryland women’s basketball signed the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class for 2019, adding four blue-chip recruits to their already-deep rotation. In May, one of those highly-touted incoming freshmen, Diamond Miller, the No. 18 overall prospect in the Class of 2019, was named to the Team USA roster for the FIBA Under-19 Women’s Basketball World Cup.
Miller and the USA team capped off their journey Sunday by beating Australia 74-70 in a thrilling overtime game in Bangkok, Thailand, marking the eighth time that the USA U-19 Women have taken home the gold medal.
Miller, a 6’1 shooting guard, appeared in every game but the championship, averaging seven minutes and two points per game as Team USA posted an undefeated 7-0 overall record.
