Veronica Burton’s illustrious Northwestern career may be over, but the next chapter has only just begun for the star point guard.
One of the greatest to ever suit up in the purple and white, Burton played in 115 games during her distinguished four years in Evanston. The Newton, Mass., native averaged 17.8 points, 6.4 assists, 5.5 rebounds, four steals and 0.9 blocks per game this past season while leading Northwestern to a 17-12 overall record.
The three-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year’s trophy case is certainly decorated already, having led her team to the WNIT Championship in 2019, a Big Ten regular season title in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament in 2021.
