On Wednesday, Prince sent an emotional shoutout to her TCU teammates, Hailey Van Lith and Madison Conner on her Instagram story for their individual awards after a stellar season.
"Honored and beyond grateful. Thank you to the Big 12 coaches who voted and also shoutout to these two girls. I wouldn't be half of what I am without them," Prince captioned her story.
Prince further shouted out Van Lith with a poster of her award win and captioned it:
"Yes ma'am!!! So blessed to be your teammate and compete alongside you Hai. This is just the beginning but I'm so proud of you for what you have overcome and the leader that you have turned into for our team. Much deserved and earned! I love you so much buddy."
TCU makes historic turnaround with Big 12 conference win
The TCU Horned Frogs made history with their Big 12 championship win, becoming the first team in the history of the conference to win it just two years removed from a last place finish. The recruitment of Hailey Van Lith from the LSU Tigers via the transfer portal has been hailed as a masterstroke that supercharged Madison Conner and Sedona Prince leading to the Horned Frogs' achievements this season.
Horned Frogs coach Mark Campbell became the first coach in conference history to win it in his/her first two seasons at the helm. The program moved from just six wins to 16 this season, which is the biggest jump in the division. The program achieved its highest Top 25 ranking (No. 10) and finished the regular season unbeaten at home.
The TCU Horned Frogs will enter the Big 12 Tournament as No. 1 seeds with a double-bye with the chance to make more history after their stunning turnaround this season.
