There is absolutely no stopping Caitlin Clark right now. Just ask Hailey Van Lith.

Hailey was tasked with guarding Clark during tonight’s epic Elite 8 battle between LSU and Iowa at the NCAA Women’s Tournament, and it did not go well for the Tigers’ guard.

Clark torched Van Lith and the Tigers for 41 point. She also contributed 12 assists and seven rebounds, while draining an insane nine three-pointers. At one point, it seemed like Clark simply couldn’t miss.

After the all-time points leader drained one from way beyond the three-point line, Hailey Van Lith couldn’t help but shrug at the wizardry that she was witnessing first hand. The cameras even caught her epic reaction. And social media had a field day with it.

In the end, Caitlin Clark‘s 41 points were just too many for Hailey Van Lith and the Tigers to overcome, as Iowa punched their ticket to the Final Four with a 94-87 victory.

Van Lith’s struggles extended beyond the defensive end, as she also was responsible for several miscues on the offensive end for the Tigers.

The senior guard finished the contest with just nine points on 2-of-10 shooting. She was 1-of-6 from three-point range and turned the ball over twice while recording just one assist. It was a disappointing way to end her season after averaging 11.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in her first year at LSU — after transferring from Louisville.

Unless applies for and is granted a fifth-year exemption, it looks like this is how her college basketball career will end.
