In just three seasons as a Huskie, E.C. Hill made an impact on NIU basketball.

Hill was a Huskie when the team went to three NCAA tournaments and compiled a 66-26 record. She was first-team USBWA and Kodak All-American and a preseason Street & Smith’s All-American and also a Basketball Times All-American.

She was the Mid-Continent Player of the Year and a member of the first-team All-Mid Con and All-Mid Con Tourney teams. She was also a two-time NIU MVP and ranked behind Lisa Leslie as
the No. 2 prep prospect in the nation.

The Whitney Young prospect was the first WNBA player in NIU history and played for the Chicago Twisters in the WBA; New England Blizzard and the Chicago Condors in the ABL; and the Charlotte Sting, Phoenix Mercury, Los Angeles Sparks and the Orlando Miracle in the WNBA.
