"My fondest memories come from simply being on a team and working towards goals," Hill said. "It's very rewarding to become a tight unit and achieve goals that so much time and energy are put towards."

Hill's hard work paid off in more ways than one. The point guard was selected for the First Team All-Ivy League Team, and was a Second Team National Association of Basketball Coaches All-District choice as well. The 5'11 point guard also garnered the Bob Cousy Award, given to New England's Best Player under 6'.

Even more impressive was Hill's winning of the 1999 Chip Hilton Award. The distinction is given to a Division I men's basketball player who, in demonstrating strong personal character, meets the competitive and ethical standards that were the theme of the 23-book Chip Hilton series.

As expected, Hill's success on and off the court continued after leaving Harvard's gates.

The Crimson standout played professionally in the Dutch league for Rotterdam for a season, competing against teams from the Netherlands and across Europe.

"Playing professionally was a fantastic experience," Hill said. "Having the opportunity to play past the college level is rare, so I jumped at the chance when it was presented to me."

Hill played for Rotterdam from early August 1999 to April of this year.
