As a senior, Hilton's goal production halved but his assist total swelled and he finished with the third highest total in the nation. The production earned him a spot on the All-American team and helped Michigan win their conference championship. The Wolverines made their 6th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and reached the championship game for the first time in 19 years. Hilton was held off the scoresheet in the final game but the Wolverines still managed to win the match in overtime, giving the program its 8th national championship overall and the first since 1964.
