This is the third weekly honor for the freshman. She is the first Lady Raider to earn three or more weekly honors in a single season since Japreece Dean took home six during the 2015-16 season.

In her first two games in the Big 12, Carr paced the Lady Raiders with 19 points in both games last week. She posted her eighth and ninth straight double-digit point game and 11^th and 12^th of the season.

Carr also had a career high seven rebounds and three steals against the eighth-ranked Baylor.

The Lady Raiders return to action on Wednesday as they host Kansas for a 7 p.m. tip off. Texas Tech then travels to Oklahoma State on Saturday for a 3 p.m. tipoff.
