EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern volunteer assistant coach Scott Hiller was inducted into the University of Massachusetts Hall of Fame this past weekend. Hiller was four-time All-American in lacrosse for the Minutemen from 1987-90, helping lead UMass to the NCAA tournament in each of his four years in Amherst.
One of only three UMass athletes to be named a four-time All-American, Hiller starred on the lacrosse field. He was a four-time All-New England selection with the Minutemen. He is third all-time in career goals scored (135) and sixth in career scoring (190). Hiller is one of only three players in UMass history to have 40 or more points in his four seasons. He helped the Minutemen to the NCAA Tournament in each of his four seasons and four New England Championships. Hiller led the team in scoring for three years in a row from 1987-89.
Following his graduation in 1990, Hiller was a member of the United States National Team in 1994. In Major League Lacrosse, he has served as head coach, general manager and team executive with the Baltimore Bayhawks, Boston Cannons and Chicago Machine. He earned MLL Coach of the Year two times while at the helm in Boston.
For the past nine seasons, Hiller has served as a volunteer assistant along side his wife, Wildcat head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, who was inducted into the Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008. He was part of a five-member induction class at Massachusetts, which included former NBA player Marcus Camby.
