Under Biller's tutelage, Rodriguez posted another fine season as a senior in 2012. He went 15-3-0 with six shutouts and finished in the top ten in the nation in goals allowed average. Rodriguez went on to sign a professional contract with Antigua F.C. in Guatemala after graduating.

Biller offers over 10 years professional playing experience, including six years in European leagues, one year in the M.I.S.L. and three years is the N.A.S.L.. Biller will be primarily responsible for working with the UNM goalkeepers and will assist in other areas as necessary.
