Metcalf graduated from the University of Nebraska in December 2001 with a bachelor's degree in advertising, and joined the national team in January 2000. While playing in college, in 1999 she set Nebraska's school record for kills per game (5.09) and attacks per game (12.17) and broke the Huskers' single-match record for kills with 39. She finished her career at Nebraska ranked third for career kills (1,603), third for attacks (3,741), ninth for block assists (376) and tenth with total blocks (412)[6]

She started playing professionally in Puerto Rico in 2002, playing two years with Indias de Mayagüez and being elected MVP for the 2002 season,[7] and Best Scorer and Spiker in both 2002 and 2003 seasons.[8]

In 2002, she earned a silver medal at the World Championships in Germany[9] and the bronze medal at the 2003 World Grand Prix.[10]
