Former Baylor women’s basketball player Chameka Scott died Sunday night from cancer. The 33-year old was a starting guard on the Lady Bears’ 2005 National Championship team.

Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey, who was with Scott in her last moments, said she was a blessing to those around her.

“We were all blessed that she came into our lives, that we got to be a part of Chameka’s life,” Mulkey said.

Scott played at Baylor from 2002 to 2006, starting 54 consecutive games for the Lady Bears in her final two seasons.
