Stephen Hill joined Suffolk women's soccer sidelines as the Rams' Goalkeepers Coach in 2019. He begins his fifth term in 2023, second on Ellie McDougall's staff.

The first year of the McDougall era featured a pair of first-year netminders, Sophia Barker and Maddie Brooke, who Hill helped guide to four victories, all of which came via shutout. 

After the 2020 season was sidelined due to COVID-19, Suffolk burst back into action in 2021. The Rams ran through their regular-season slate, their first in the CCC, to earn the fifth seed in the conference postseason. The blue-and-gold ended up falling in the quarterfinals at fourth-seed Gordon, however, it did put together the second-most victories (11-6-0) in program history. 

Allison Rodrigues was a backbone to Suffolk's success. The sole goalie on the 2021 squad, the senior was responbile for all 11 victories in net, eight of which were shutouts en route to become the first Rams' netminder to collect all-region honors from the United Soccer Coaches, as well as a first-team all-league nod.  

Hill helped Suffolk to new heights in 2019. He coached Allison Rodrigues’ gloves to 10 victories (10-6-0), including a program-record eight shutouts, and a third-team All-GNAC selection. With Rodrigues as a backstop, the Rams outscored its foes, 34-21 on the year. The blue-and-gold not only locked up a place in the GNAC Tournament for the first time since 2017 and eighth time overall, but did so as the fourth seed and hosting rights, the highest finish since it won the 2010 regular-season crown.  

The 2020 season was out of the ordinary not as the Rams' first in the CCC, but due to the fact that it was cancelled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. 

Hill, who currently works as the Univeristy Budget Director at Suffolk, holds a resume full of experience developing keepers. He takes a spot on the Rams’ sidelines after working as an Assistant Goalkeeping Coach for the Nova Premiere Soccer Club. He has also worked with the Norton and Sandwich Youth Soccer Programs. 

Hill earned his Master’s Degree from Suffolk’s Sawyer Business School in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance in 2002. 

The former Suffolk graduate holds a United Soccer Coaches Level 3 Goalkeeping Certification.
