She followed with another outstanding performance, leading the Hawkeyes to a 4-3 upset over No. 9 Michigan. Early in the game, Burrell scored a deflection goal and then tied the game off a penalty corner at the 56:56 mark. She finished the weekend with a total of seven points, including three goals and one assist.
