This is McBride's fist rookie of the week selection. McBride, a 6-1 forward from New Rochelle, N.Y., averaged 15.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals to help the Lady Hawks to a 2-0 record last week. She was 5-of-6 from the field for 12 points and nine rebounds in a MEAC win against South Carolina State and earned her second double-double of the season with a career-high 19 points and 10 rebounds in a non-conference win against Winston-Salem State (WSSU).
