Where Hailey Van Lith goes, winning tends to follow.
With Saturday's win over the No. 3 Irish this weekend, Van Lith made some impressive women's college hoops history. Becoming the first player and only player in history to lead three different schools to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament (Louisville, LSU and TCU).
Van Lith scored a game-high 26 in the victory to go along with nine rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block.

Fans were highly impressed on social media.
"Baller," a user said.
"BEST PG IN THE COUNTRY!" a fan exclaimed.
"I'll still never understand why she left Louisville," another person pointed out.
"That's tough!!" another user commented.
"I'm here for the HVL redemption arc ..." another fan replied.
"Hailey Van Lith is THAT girl," Renee Washington said.
"DONT PLAY WITH HER!!!!"
"As impressive an accomplishment as it is ridiculous that it's possible," a college basketball fan shared.
After starring at Louisville, Hailey joined an outstanding LSU squad that lost to Caitlin Clark and Iowa ahead of the Final Four.
A lot of people were disappointed with how her lone season in Baton Rouge ended, but she's more than made up for it since her arrival in Fort Worth.
She and the Horned Frogs will now await the winner of No. 1 Texas vs. No. 5 Tennessee which should come down to the wire after a tightly-contested first half of action.
