Sad to say her death is being investigated as a suicide. She played basketball for UT 1997 to 2000. She died Sunday at 25 years of age. :(

She was a two-time all state selection when she lead Cedar Hill High School to the state basketball tournament her junior and senior year. She then went to Texas where she averaged 9.8 points a game in her four year career with the Lady Longhorns. She went on to play professionally for one season in Australia and one in Israel before returning to Texas to teach school. At the time of her death, she was a fifth-grade teacher at Hardin Elementary School in the Duncanville School District. Former teammate, Dana Godffrey, a coach at Reed Middle School in Duncanville, remembered her as a compaassionate and supportive friend.

Very sad news that I know everyone is sorry to hear about.
