Kelly Amonte Hiller was given the task of putting the Northwestern
women's lacrosse program back on the national landscape after
a decade-long hiatus. The job officially began in the spring of
2002, and the results were immediate.

including a 2-4 mark in the inaugural season of the American Lacrosse

that were ranked nationally at the time of their meeting with
NU.”
