HIll, a junior linebacker, put on a dominant defensively display in Rockford's 13-7 overtime loss at Wisconsin Lutheran. He terrorized the Warrior backfield with nine solo tackles, including six tackles for loss and five sacks. The six tackles for loss resulted in a net loss of 37 yards for WLC. The five sacks establish a new Rockford single-game record and fell one-half sack short of matching the NACC record. Hill also had two forced fumbles, including a strip sack that resulted in Rockford's only touchdown to force overtime.
