Hailey Van Lith Leads TCU to First Elite Eight in Program History

The fifth-year senior's 26-point performance against Notre Dame also broke TCU's single-season scoring record, cementing her NCAA Tournament legacy.

TCU defeated Notre Dame 71-62 in the Sweet 16, marking the program's first-ever Elite Eight appearance in women's NCAA Tournament history.
Hailey Van Lith scored 26 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, and made key defensive plays to secure the win.
Van Lith became the first player in NCAA history to reach the Elite Eight with three different teams: Louisville, LSU, and TCU.
Her performance also broke TCU's single-season scoring record, previously set in 2004-05, and added to her season total of 663 points.
TCU will face either Texas or Tennessee in the regional final, continuing their historic 2024-25 season, which includes 33 wins and a Big 12 championship.
