Hailey Van Lith, TCU Lose to Texas in School's 1st-Ever Elite Eight Appearance

Hailey Van Lith and TCU's magical season came to an end at the hands of Texas on Monday.

The No. 2 Horned Frogs fell to the top-seeded Longhorns 58-47 in the Elite Eight.

Van Lith had another strong performance, posting 17 points and eight boards, but it ultimately wasn't enough to will her team past one of the best squads in the NCAA tournament. A poor offensive night from TCU proved to be detrimental as the Horned Frogs shot just 26.7 percent from the field and 20 percent from deep.

Losing in the Elite Eight wasn't the result TCU wanted, but it was still a season to remember. The Horned Frogs reached the tournament for the first time since 2010 and reached both the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight for the first time in program history.

While they fell short of reaching the Final Four, Van Lith and the Horned Frogs received high praise for their best season in program history.

Texas has looked poised to make a deep run for most of the season, and now the Longhorns are heading to their first Final Four in more than 20 years.

The win came behind another strong performance from star Madison Booker, who posted 18 points and six boards. It wasn't the best offensive showing for Texas as a whole, but it did just enough to keep the season alive.

With the win, Texas will now get a matchup with South Carolina in the Final Four. The Longhorns are looking to punch a ticket to the title game for the first time since 1986, but they'll have to get past a Gamecocks squad looking to win back-to-back titles.
