McCall recorded her fourth Big 12 Rookie of the Week nod, becoming just the 12th player in league history to do so. She is the second TCU player to achieve the feat, following Regan McGuire in 2015.
The rookie posted 21 kills, 13 digs and two blocks, while hitting .245 in the Frogs’ four-set win over Kansas State. That is an average of 5.25 kills and 3.25 digs per set. The double-double marked the eighth of the season for the Leander, Texas native. The 21-kill effort marked the fifth of the season for McCall.
