Phyllis Miller g53 TU
Phyllis J. Miller (nee Miller) g53 helped pioneer women’s intercollegiate athletics at the Taylor University Upland campus as a student athlete (1949-53). Then, a two decades later, she became the founding coach for the women’s basketball and volleyball teams at Fort Wayne Bible College (1973-79). Although Phyllis started the programs at Fort Wayne with students who generally lacked previous athletic experience, she eventually coached the Falcons volleyball team to back-to-back North Central Christian Athletic Conference (NCCAC) championships (1977-78 and 1978-79), the second year going undefeated in conference play.
