LANGLEY, B.C. – Hannah Miller (Langley, B.C.) was outstanding over the weekend, earning her the honour of being this week's Spartan Female Athlete of the Week, presented by Applewood Auto Group.
 
Miller was not only instrumental in securing four points against the no. 3 ranked UBC Thunderbirds, but has been one of the biggest factors contributing to an undefeated season for the no. 1 ranked Spartans as their Canada West conference play has come to a close.
 
The bulk of Miller's work came on Saturday as the third-year keeper made seven crucial stops, holding UBC off to keep the game at a 0-0 draw once the final whistle was blown. One of Miller's stops made in the late stages of Saturday's match prevented UBC from a goal that seemed all but sure, as Miller scrambled across the net to parry a low-driven shot which was eventually cleared by TWU.
 
Miller has had consistently great performances throughout the year, earning nine clean sheets throughout TWU's 12 conference games played. This strong run of play for Miller and the Spartans back-line is enough to give them the highest number of clean sheets in Canada West.
 
With Canada West conference play wrapped up for Miller and the Spartans, the team heads into Canada West playoffs with the no. 1 spot in the western conference.
