The Belhaven University softball team had a season to remember in 2022. The Blazers finished

41-8 overall and won the ASC regular season and tournament titles before losing in the NCAA

Division III super-regional round to no. 2 Texas Lutheran.

To maintain that level of success, Belhaven head coach Kevin Griffin and his staff must reload

with talent ahead of next season.

The Blazers picked up a big piece of that reloading effort recently with the addition of Copiah-

Lincoln catcher Madi Miller.

A graduate of Brookhaven High, Miller was an All-Area selection in softball for coach Mandy

Vinson as a high schooler while also having a standout career on the soccer pitch as well at BHS.

This season as a sophomore she earned MACCC Second Team All-Conference honors after

finishing second on the team with 58 hits in 2022 for Co-Lin. Miller finished with a .367 batting

average while driving in 18 runs and stealing 14 bases for the MACCC champions in Wesson

this season.

Miller played in 42 games as a freshman and has also seen time in right field during her career.

“I expect to see Madi do big things at Belhaven,” said CLCC head coach Meleah Howard in a

release by the school. “She’s a natural leader on and off the field and always has such a positive impact on everyone that she’s around. I am proud of her and her accomplishments.”
