She later went on to play professionally in Serbia where she recorded the first quadruple-double in the ZLS's history.[1][2]

On January 4, 2018, she recorded a quadruple-double, the first one in the NCAA for 25 years, with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals.[3] On February 3, 2019, she posted the second quadruple-double of her career with 21 points, 16 rebounds, 13 assists, and 10 steals in a victory against over Arkansas-Pine Bluf.[4]

After going undrafted in the 2019 WNBA draft, Hill signed with Serbian club ŽKK Kraljevo of the First Women's Basketball League of Serbia (ZLS) and the regional WABA League in September 2019.[5] On January 26, 2020, she posted another quadruple-double, the first in ZLS history, with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals against KZK Partizan.[6] In March 2020, she helped Kraljevo win the Milan Ciga Vasojević Cup.[7] Kraljevo had a 17–1 record when the rest of the 2019–20 ZLS season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia.[8] In the ZLS league, she averaged 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 5.7 steals per game.
