NEW FACES, IMMEDIATE IMPACT

Mary Miller came to Ole Miss after one year at Georgia Southern where she started all 13 tournaments as a freshman and set a program record 37 rounds played, the most in a single season at GSU. The Savannah, Georgia native didn't take long to make an impact for the Rebels with back-to-back top 10 finishes at the Cougar Classic and Canadian Collegiate Invitational.
