In her final year at Ohio University, 2015 Awardee AMANI BURKE, played and started in all 29 games for the Lady Bobcats, scoring in double-figures in all but four contests, second on the team at 13.6 points per game and 4.3 assists per game. Burke scored at least 20 points 12 times and notched a season-high 30 points on 11–22 shooting, including 6–13 from deep, in the win at Butler and scored at least 20 points in a career-high four-straight games from February 22 - March 4. She finished her career in fifth place on the Ohio scoring list with 1,496, third all-time with 235 made three-point field goals, and sixth in school history with 502 field goals made. In a senior season highlight, Amani led her team in a first time ever win over the OSU Lady Buckeyes by scoring 23 points in the upset. Amani and her team were performing very well when the season and her OU career was abruptly ended by the COVID-19 pandemic.
