She was consistent on the offensive end for the Minutewomen, tallying three goals each of her first three seasons before concluding her collegiate career with 30 points (11g, 8a).

At the end of her senior season, Burke also walked on with the womens basketball team. While on the hoops team, she saw action in 23-of-30 games and started in four. She scored a season-high six points at home against George Washington, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers.
