A native of Jupiter, Florida, Hilcoff played five combined collegiate seasons at the University of Oregon and Clemson University, where she established herself as one of the most productive offensive players in program history at both stops. Over 69 career games, she totaled 168 goals and 197 points on 293 shots on goal, while also contributing 212 draw controls, 45 ground balls, and 20 caused turnovers. She finished her career with a 0.442 shooting percentage and a 0.771 shots-on-goal rate.
At Oregon, Hilcoff earned Second Team All-Pac-12 honors in both 2021 and 2022 and became the fastest player in program history to reach 100 career goals, doing so in just 37 games. After transferring to Clemson, she made an immediate impact, leading the team with a career-high 51 goals in 2023. In Clemson’s inaugural lacrosse season, she scored the first goal in program history within the opening minute of the first game. She was later recognized as a Preseason All-American Honorable Mention following her standout season.
Hilcoff also competed internationally with the Israeli National Team, representing the country at the 2022 World Games, where Israel placed fifth in the world among more than 100 competing nations.
