- TCU is playing in its sixth home match inside Schollmaier Arena, its new, permanent home.
- The Horned Frogs played exciting matches on the home court in the fall. All four matches went to at least four sets, including a record-breaking five-set victory over Texas Tech (Oct. 8).
- Freshman DS/L Kate Georgiades has been on an historic pace receiving serves. The College Station product has successfully received all but two of the 226 serves sent her way over her first 12 matches (99.1 percent). She is on pace to set the TCU single season receiving record, in her first year wearing the purple and white.
- This spring, Georgiades has been the primary receiver, pacing TCU with 41 serves received. She is a perfect 41/41 after two spring contests.

- Clark, along with Julia Adams, leads the Horned Frog attack with 18 kills.

- She has contributed 11 digs, the third most on the team, this spring. She is averaging 1.47 digs/set over the course of the 2020-21 campaign, the highest of her career, including a 1.57 digs/set clip so far this spring.
- Sophomore OH Audrey Nalls has shown flashes of dominance this spring. After battling her way back from an injury in the fall, Nalls has delivered 2.33 points/set for the Frogs this spring, an improvement of over half a point compared to her fall numbers (1.75 points/set).
- She is third on the team in kills (13), second in blocks (2.0) and fourth in points (14.0) this spring.
