Historic Achievement for TCU Women’s Basketball
Hailey Van Lith has once again made a significant impact, guiding the TCU Horned Frogs to an unprecedented milestone in the program’s history.
Dominant Performance Against Louisville
On Sunday afternoon in Fort Worth, Van Lith showcased her talents by leading TCU to a commanding 15-point victory over Louisville, her previous team. This victory marks a historic achievement, propelling the Horned Frogs into the Sweet 16 for the first time ever.
Inspirational Second Quarter
In a phenomenal display of teamwork and skill, TCU outscored Louisville 27-9 in the second quarter while limiting the Cardinals to a mere 3-of-19 from the field. The Horned Frogs entered halftime shooting over 70% from the floor, a performance that set the stage for their eventual triumph. Van Lith contributed significantly to the win with a double-double, registering 16 points and 10 assists.
Van Lith’s Stellar College Career
Having spent her first three years at Louisville before transferring to LSU for last season, Van Lith has made remarkable strides throughout her college career. She has reached the Elite Eight in all four seasons and once made it to the Final Four with the Cardinals. Her journey continues as TCU prepares to face No. 3 Notre Dame in the Sweet 16, where a win would mark her fifth trip to the Elite Eight.
Uncharted Territory for TCU
This stage is uncharted for TCU, especially against a formidable Notre Dame team that has been impressive in the tournament despite a rough finish to the regular season. However, Van Lith’s experience and tenacity suggest she has the tools necessary for a deep NCAA tournament run. If anyone can lead the Horned Frogs to victory, it’s certainly her.
