During her time with the Pride, Hill spent two off-seasons on loan in Australia with W-League club Perth Glory FC in 2017-18 and 2018-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, the Chicago Red Stars acquired Hill in a draft-day trade. She played with Chicago in the 2020 Challenge Cup, then moved on loan to Sweden\u2019s Link\u00f6ping FC in August. She scored twice in eight appearances for the first-division club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hill returned stateside in 2021 and spent two seasons in the Windy City, scoring four goals in 43 regular season appearances including 30 starts. Hill started all three of Chicago\u2019s playoff games in 2021, and scored the Red Stars\u2019 lone goal in the NWSL Championship, held at Louisville\u2019s Lynn Family Stadium. She made one additional playoff appearance with Chicago in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hill signed with the San Diego Wave as a free agent in 2023, where she helped the club to the NWSL Shield with a first-place finish in the regular season. She made 15 starts in 17 regular season appearances and again saw action in the NWSL Playoffs, starting the club\u2019s semifinal loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bay FC selected Hill with the fifth overall pick in the 2024 NWSL Expansion Draft.

In college with the UConn Huskies, Hill was two-time semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy, college soccer\u2019s most prestigious award. She was a two-time All-American, earning first-team honors in 2015 and a second-team distinction in 2016 from the NSCAA, now known as the United Soccer Coaches.
