LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. – Lauren Hill has played her last basketball game for Mount St. Joseph’s University.

The Lawrenceburg graduate will now serve as an honorary coach for the team, her coach Dan Benjamin told Cincinnati’s WCPO-TV Wednesday night.

Hill is battling a form of brain cancer and her story has transcended beyond the college sports world.

The freshman made a basket Tuesday at home against The College of Wooster marking her tenth collegiate point.

Hill launched the #LayUp4Lauren campaign which raises money for research and a cure for brain cancer.
