Hill, who was named the NJAC Pitcher of the Week, appeared in six games for the Red Hawks as Montclair went a perfect 9-0 at the Rebel Spring Games, their first undefeated season-opening trip since a 10-0 record at the Gene Cusic Classic in 2003. Hill went 5-0 and did not allow an earned run (two total) in 36 innings of work. She surrendered 17 hits, struck out 45 and walked just one, picked up a save and posted two complete-game shutouts. Hill, the NJAC Rookie of the Year and First-Team All-NJAC selection in 2011, opened her 2012 campaign with a two-hit, eight-inning, 10-strikeout performance as Montclair defeated McDaniel, 4-1. She then earned a save in the second game that day with a scoreless 7th inning as MSU blanked Washington (MD), 2-0. Hill struck out eight in six innings in a 5-1 win over Utica and then fanned 12 in a complete-game three-hit shutout of Roger Williams (a 2-0 Red Hawk victory). She fanned four in a complete-game 4-0 win versus Illinois Wesleyan and then tossed a three-hit shutout with nine K's in a 1-0 win over Millikin to complete her week. Hill leads the league in ERA and is second in strikeouts and third in victories.
