Since graduating from WVU in 2012, Burton has played in the Women’s National Basketball League in her home country of Australia. Her first three years were with her hometown team the West Coast Waves in Perth. Last year, she left her home city and signed a one-year deal with the Melbourne Boomers. Burton’s absence from her hometown was short-lived when she signed a contract with the newly formed Perth Lynx earlier this year.
“It was hard for me to be away from home in Melbourne,” stated Burton. “Obviously, it’s great to be back home and with my family again.
