Hailey Van Lith gets her flowers from Sedona Prince and Madison Conner after TCU star records major achievement

Hailey Van Lith is having a historic season, and her latest accomplishment is further proof of her incredible impact on TCU. The senior guard recorded her 500th career assist during the No. 9 Horned Frogs' 80-75 win over No. 25 Baylor on Sunday.

Van Lith entered the game needing just one assist to reach the impressive feat and got it done in the late first quarter, finding Agnes Emma-Nnopu for a 3-point jumper to make it 500 career assists for the Washington native.

Her teammates, fellow seniors Madison Conner and Sedona Prince, heaped praise on Hailey Van Lith while speaking with the media during the postgame conference.

"Hailey is a great teammate. She can score the ball... she does a great job at finding us and making us succeed in the best way possible," Conner said (17:39). "Super excited for Hailey. I mean, she’s a great teammate and a great person, so that’s exciting."

Prince, who outscored Van Lith this season, echoed Conner's sentiments, noting that Van Lith is exceptional both as a player and a person.

"I feel like we're all like every time Hailey does something like that, we're all just really proud of her," Prince said. "She's had an interesting career, a difficult career sometimes, and so, for her in these achievements, it's special for us ... I hope that all the TCU community sees that as well."

TCU coach Mark Campbell lauds Hailey Van Lith's impact and achievement

Hailey Van Lith has already surpassed her single-season assist record with 127 as of the Baylor game, shattering her previous high of 119 set during the 2022-23 season at Louisville.

Her 500th career assist was another momentous benchmark for the 5-foot-9 guard, who reached 2,000 points earlier this season.

"For Hailey to come here, get plugged in, change her game and play in a way that she hasn't played—she's always been used as a really dynamic score," Horned Frogs coach Mark Campbell said (18:49).

"At the end of the day, she's the head of the monster, the point guard on a team that’s 20-2, top 10 in the country. That's awesome that she did that. I think she's on track to break our single-season assist record, so that's really cool, really special that she did that."

To break the Horned Frogs' single-season assist record, Hailey Van Lith needs 57 more assists to match Natasha Lacy's 184 from the 2004-05 season. If she maintains her current pace of 5.8 assists per game, Van Lith should surpass that mark in the next 10 games.
