Following the victory, TCU summed up Van Lith’s impact in just three words:
“One of one,” they posted on X.

After a challenging season at LSU, where her performance fell short of expectations, Van Lith chose to transfer to TCU for her final year.
The move has paid off, as she now averages 17.7 points per game (the second-highest of her career). And has set a personal best with 5.5 assists per game.

Additionally, her field goal percentage has soared to 45.6%, the highest of her career.

With the conference title secured, TCU now looks ahead to the Big 12 tournament. Where they hold the No. 1 seed and will debut on March 7 against the winner of Arizona vs. Houston/Colorado.
