Maryland guard Diamond Miller is headed to the WNBA. She was chosen by the Minnesota Lynx as the second overall pick in the WNBA draft.

Miller fell to No.2 after the Indiana Fever selected South Carolina's Aliyah Boston first.

The former Terp becomes Maryland's highest pick since Marissa Coleman went second overall to the Washington Mystics in 2009.

Maryland finished the season 28-7 and Miller helped lead the Terps to an Elite Eight appearance. She also led the team in scoring with 19.7 points per game.

She joins the Minnesota Lynx after they finished their season 14-22 and fifth in the western conference.

Miller wasn't the only Terp taken in the draft. Her teammate, Abby Meyers, was selected by the Dallas Wings with the 11th pick in the first round.

Meyers played in 35 games for Maryland this season, where she averaged 14.3 points and 5.1 rebounds.
