It was definitely a bitter-sweet victory for Hailey Van Lith on Sunday as she defeated the Louisville Cardinals with whom she played from 2020 to 2023, to start off her college basketball career. After that, Lith moved on to the LSU Tigers to play for one season, before moving on to the TCU Horned Frogs.
