Van Lith’s spark lights TCU’s path to best season in program history and 2 seed in March Madness
FORT WORTH, Texas — Hailey Van Lith had a hunch she would end up at TCU to finish her college career. While Van Lith is just one of the “Big Three” for TCU alongside Sedona Prince and Madison Conner, she’s the lone newcomer. Sure, the first season together for Prince and Conner was wrecked by injuries, but even those two agree there’s something a little different with Van Lith in charge as the primary playmaker. We had a lot of good pieces and stuff, but you definitely need a dog on your team to kind of uplift everybody and just kind of make them compete at a higher level.” The path to Texas Van Lith has known second-year TCU coach Mark Campbell since high school, when he was recruiting her out of Washington state as an assistant at Oregon. “It was a chaotic time for me,” said Van Lith, the only college men’s or women’s player picked by Team USA.
