Kennedy Burke’s college coach sees lesson in Liberty breakout: ‘Turn weakness into a strength’

After watching the Liberty beat up the Sky on Tuesday, UCLA coach Cori Close picked up her phone and texted her former player Kennedy Burke.

“Ah man, I’m having so much fun watching you.”

Join the club, coach.

Burke is off to a blistering start to the season. The 28-year-old has registered 9.9 points and three rebounds per game off the bench, averaging career highs in nearly every statistical category.
