Well, this is pretty much the worst news to start a Friday. 

From USAToday.com:

Lauren Hill touched a nation with her desire to play for Mount St. Joseph's women's basketball team, even as she battled an inoperable brain tumor.

Her resolve, spirit and courage were celebrated Nov. 2 when she realized her dream at Xavier University's Cintas Center. Cheered on by a sold-out crowd of 10,250 and a television audience, Hill scored the first and last basket of the Mount's 66-55 victory over Hiram College.

She lost her battle with brain cancer Friday. She was 19.

Massive respect and condolences to Lauren Hill's family and friends.
