Point guard Michelle Miles, who led UCLA in assists last season, will transfer to San Diego State this month, sources said.

Miles, a 5-foot-9 redshirt sophomore from Denver, had 87 assists and averaged 4.1 points in 26 games for the Bruins last season. But she lost her starting job this season to Nicole Anderson, formerly of La Jolla High School. She left the Bruins after a Dec. 22 game against Notre Dame. She had 22 assists and averaged 0.4 points in eight games.

Under NCAA transfer rules, Miles must sit out the rest of this season and will not be eligible to play for the Aztecs until mid-December. She will have 1 1/2 seasons of athletic eligibility remaining.
