Hill is one of the most decorated softball players in the history of Hardin-Simmons and there is little doubt she is the best offensive player to play for the Cowgirls.

In her career, she hit .469 with 32 home runs and 161 RBIs, while starting 162 games. As a senior, she hit .527 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs and struck out just two times on the season. In her career, she had just 24 strikeouts in 490 at-bats.

She is the all-time leader in the school’s history in on-base percentage (.534), hits (230), RBIs (161) and games played (163). She is in the top 10 in 22 career categories.

Hill helped lead the Cowgirls to the ASC Championship game on three occasions and twice led the Cowgirls to ASC titles in 2006 and 2007. The other time she was infamously accidentally left off the lineup card in the ASC Championship game as a freshman. HSU played in a pair of NCAA Tournaments.

Hill was a three-time all-American. She won first-team honors as a senior, second-team as a junior and third-team as a freshman. She was a four-time first-team NFCA all-region selection. She was the ASC player of the year in 2007 and the ASC freshman of the year in 2005.

She was somehow not voted to the all-conference team her sophomore season despite hitting .438 with five home runs and 33 RBIs. She would later be named all region that season. The other three years she was a first-team all-ASC West Division selection. She was a two-time academic all-ASC selection.

Hill is a high school coach in the Metroplex.
