Scott Hiller has been a part of the Northwestern lacrosse program since 2001 and was named to his current position of assistant coach in 2020. Hiller, the husband of head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller, was previously the volunteer assistant coach and involved in a myriad of responsibilities with the program.
Alongside Amonte Hiller, Hiller has helped lead the Wildcats to eight national championships -- most recently a dominant 18-6 win over Boston College for the 2023 national title.
Throughout his coaching career, Hiller has been involved with both men's and women's professional lacrosse. He served as the co-president and general manager of the Washington Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse (MLL) after his dual role as head coach and general manager for the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
Prior to coaching the Bayhawks, Hiller served as the head coach of the Boston Cannons. He was a two-time selection as the league's Coach of the Year as he led the Cannons to back-to-back American Division titles and four straight playoff appearances. He guided Boston to a 10-2 record in 2005, tying Baltimore for the best regular season mark in league history. During his four-year tenure with the Cannons, Hiller compiled a 32-18 regular season record.
In his inaugural 2002 campaign, Hiller led the team to a 7-7 record and was named Coach of the Year. In 2003, the Cannons went 7-5 and secured their third consecutive postseason berth. The following season, Boston won a then team-record eight games and clinched the franchise's first American Division title.
Before joining the Cannons, Hiller spent eight seasons as assistant head coach for the Harvard men's lacrosse team. Prior to that, he had an outstanding playing career that included a U.S. World Team appearance in 1994.
Hiller graduated from the University of Massachusetts in 1990. He is third on the career points list at UMass, where he was one of just two players to be named All-American all four years. He was captain of the Minutemen as a senior and was inducted into the Massachusetts Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. Hiller graduated from Suffolk Law School in the spring of 2001.
Scott resides in Evanston with his wife and head coach, Kelly, and daughters Harlee and Lew.
