He was a four-time NEILA All-New England selection and he is third all-time in career goals scored (135) and seventh in scoring (190). Hiller is one of only three players in UMass history to have 40 or more points in each of his four seasons.
Hiller helped the Minutemen to New England Championships and NCAA Tournament berths during each campaign while Hiller led the team in scoring for three years in a row from 1987-89.
