TCU Horned Frogs star guard Hailey Van Lith recently shared her favorite holiday movie, delighting fans with a glimpse into her personal interests. As she led her team through a historic season, her love for holiday classics added a festive touch to her impressive rise in women’s college basketball.
Van Lith made headlines during her senior season at TCU, leading the Horned Frogs to an impressive rise in women’s college basketball. After a challenging year at Louisiana State University (LSU), where her performance dipped significantly, Van Lith sought a fresh start at TCU. This move proved pivotal, as she helped elevate the program to its highest-ever ranking at No. 9 in the AP poll.
Previously celebrated as a McDonald’s All-American and a two-time All-ACC selection at Louisville, Van Lith faced a tough transition at LSU. Her scoring average dropped from 19.7 points per game to just 11.6, culminating in an Elite Eight loss that left her collegiate future uncertain. Determined to rebound, she joined TCU for the 2024-25 season, bringing renewed hope to a team that had battled injuries and setbacks the previous year.
Van Lith’s impact on the court was immediate and transformative. Averaging 19.1 points, 6.5 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game, she became a crucial part of TCU’s success. A standout moment occurred during a victory against No. 3 Notre Dame, where her leadership helped propel the team to a remarkable comeback, marking the program’s first win against a top-three opponent since 2008.
