Lake Forest College freshman guard Kelsey Burton exploded for 28 points and 13 rebounds in a win over Monmouth College and has been named the Midwest Conference (MWC) Women’s Basketball Performer of the Week.

Burton helped lead Lake Forest to a pair of narrow victories last week. She scored a dozen points and added four rebounds and three steals as the Foresters prevailed 70-67 over Lawrence University at home on Wednesday. She then scored 28 points, the most by a Forester in nearly three years, and pulled down 13 rebounds in a 74-70 triumph at Monmouth College on Saturday. Burton now ranks ninth in the league in scoring and fifth in rebounding this season.
