Xavier and Mount St. Joseph women’s basketball have announced they will pay tribute to the late Lauren Hill with the “Lauren Hill Tipoff Classic.”
The two programs will open the season with a doubleheader at the Cintas Center on November 14th, in what will become an annual event.
Hill was celebrated nationally last season when she took the court for Mount St. Joseph in its season-opener while battling an inoperable brain tumor, fulfilling her goal of playing college basketball.
