The 2019-20 season is Van Horn's second on the Catamount coaching staff.
Van Horn comes to Burlington from her alma mater Marist College, where she served as the Director of Basketball Operations since 2016 and was coached by Kresge as a student-athlete. Van Horn was a guard for a pair of MAAC Championship teams at Marist (2013 and 2014) and served as a team captain for the Red Foxes as a junior and senior. She was also a four-time member of the MAAC All-Academic Team.

"I had the pleasure of recruiting and coaching Eileen at Marist," said Kresge. "Eileen was the model student-athlete and teammate who was a joy to be around. She understands what it takes, as a student-athlete and coach, in order to be successful. I know that she will be a great role-model and mentor to our student-athletes. Her knowledge of the game will help develop our guard play and offense. I'm so excited to welcome her to Catamount Country."
