Van Lith began her career at Louisville and played there for three seasons before transferring to LSU. The guard spent this season with the Tigers, who lost in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament to Iowa.

Van Lith was tasked with defending Caitlin Clark in that game and things did not go well. Clark scored 41 points and left Van Lith feeling helpless.

Van Lith went 2-of-10 for nine points in the loss to Iowa. She started 33 games for the Tigers this season and averaged 11.6 points, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.

News of Van Lith entering the transfer portal comes a day after star Tigers forward Angel Reese announced her intention to leave LSU for the WNBA.
