The Foresters posted a 12-11 overall record and 9-7 mark in Midwest Conference play in 2008-09, Tills' first year with the program. Lake Forest remained in contention for a spot in the four-team MWC Championship Tournament until the final game of the regular season.

Lisa Nassin was a First Team All-MWC selection and Claire Schmidt earned Second Team honors following the 2008-09 season. In addition, Schmidt, Paige Keasler, Aimee Lockwood, and Emily Weber were named Academic All-MWC.

Several school records were established during Tills' first year at the College. Nassin set one single-game mark with a .938 (15-for-16) field goal percentage and Susan Hedrick broke another with eight three-pointers. The Foresters tied a record with 108 points in a game and their .621 field goal percentage that night set another mark. Finally, Nassin recorded the highest single-season field goal percentage (.603) and moved into first place in team history in that category for a career (.558).

Tills was the head coach at Concordia University Chicago for the previous six seasons. She led the 2007-08 Cougars to the semifinals of the conference tournament and came within one win of the program’s record for victories in a season. Her 2003-04 squad was the first in school history to host a first-round game in the Northern Illinois-Iowa Conference Tournament and the 2005-06 squad made the program's first-ever appearance in the league's championship game.

Prior to her time at Concordia Chicago, Tills was a head coach for three seasons (1999-2002) at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, and four (1992-96) at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Tills' teams have posted a higher winning percentage than the previous season in nine of her 14 years as a collegiate head coach.

Her coaching career began at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was the athletic director and volleyball and basketball coach from 1985-87.
