The team also benefited from the skills of seniors Mary Halpenny and Linda McCrea, both chosen Outstanding Seniors. In the Metro tourney, Burke cleaned up in the first two rounds before being stopped by Marian, who went on to win the Metro title. Burke was one of the few teams that carried Marian to three rounds. Finishing third in Metro, Burke was upset by Millard in the second round of Districts after receiving a bye. All chances for State seemingly gone, the girls drew the wildcard due to the fine record. Although suffering ae first-round loss to Columbus, the spikers enjoyed the entire trip.
