On Monday, the 6-foot, 1-inch forward became only the fifth women's basketball player in conference history to sweep both the BIG EAST Player and Freshman of the Week awards.
The four previous rookie sweeps belong to legendary Maya Moore of Connecticut, Allazia Blockton of Marquette and two current players---Paige Bueckers of UConn and Maddy Siegrist of Villanova.
That's pretty heady company for the Blue Demon freshman who has won the first-year award a record six consecutive weeks to start the season.
Morrow began the week with 14 points and 10 rebounds in DePaul's 100-72 victory over Nicholls State.
Next came 16 points and 15 rebounds in a 103-71 win over Northern Illinois.
Saving the best for last, Morrow culminated with 29 points and 14 rebounds in Sunday's 107-93 triumph at St. John's.
That gave her five consecutive double-doubles and seven in her last eight games. Her total of eight double-doubles is second in the nation to Baylor's 6-4 NaLyssa Smith.
Morrow begins the week leading the country in total rebounds and is second in offensive rebounds per game. She is fourth in the nation in total points, fifth in field goals, seventh in steals and ninth in blocked shots
The former Simeon All-Stater averaged 19.7 points and 13 rebounds in the three wins last week and helped extend her team's winning streak to seven. The Blue Demons are 11-2 on the season and 3-0 in the BIG EAST.
In her last eight games, Morrow is averaging 20.8 points and 14 rebounds. On the season, she is averaging 18.7 points and 12.2 rebounds.
Morrow and her teammates are headed for a 7:30 p.m. Wednesday showdown against No. 21/18 Notre Dame at Wintrust Arena that will be nationally televised on FS1.
