Women’s Basketball: Van Lith among TCU athletes receiving All-Big 12 honors

Mark Campbell was also named the Big 12 Coach of the Year.

After a historic regular season in which the team clinched its first-ever Big 12 Conference title, TCU women’s basketball placed several individuals on the All-Big 12 roster. Among the honorees was star guard Hailey Van Lith, who was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, Big 12 Player of the Year and an All-Big 12 First Team member. Van Lith is the first player in the conference’s 28-year history to win Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year in the same season. She became TCU’s first conference player of the year in any league since Helena Sverrisdóttir claimed the crown in the Mountain West Conference in 2010.

Mark Campbell was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year after leading the Horned Frogs to a 19-0 record at the Schollmaier Arena and a 28-3 record for the regular season. Campbell became the first Big 12 head coach to capture a league championship in his/her first two seasons in the conference. Along the way in 2024-25, TCU has set program records for total wins and Big 12 victories and finished undefeated at home (19-0) in the regular season. Campbell is the first Big 12 head coach to be honored as Coach of the Year within two years of joining the conference. He joined TCU all-time wins leader Jeff Mittie as one of only two coaches in program history to receive a conference coach of the year accolade.

Joining Van Lith on the All-Big 12 First Team are star center Sedona Prince and guard Madison Conner. Prince became one of 10 active D1 players to record at least 1,400 career points, 700 rebounds and 200 blocks in TCU’s championship-clinching victory over Baylor. Conner has been the best shooter in college basketball. She leads the nation in 3-pointers (108) and is second in 3-pointers per game (3.5) ahead of TCU’s trek to Kansas City. Conner is on track to become only the third Big 12 player to finish as the D1 leader in 3-pointers.
