Really nice article originally by the SF Chron about her--her success in the WNBA, her family, her time at NU.

Brian Scalabrine and Frank Isola on nba radio were singing her praises yesterday too
Another great game from Veronica as the Valks defeat the Wings in Dallas.
22 points on 8/13, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and a steal with zero turnovers.

Sure glad she escaped Connecticut. That team makes no sense at the Mohegan Sun. Put them in Boston!
After 23 successful seasons, they sold it to a family for $300 million and will relocate to Houston. They had a $279 million gain.
Veronica is thriving with Golden State and the Valkyries are just one win away from the WNBA Finals. She has to be the greatest women's player ever at NU. Team won a Big Ten title while she was here.
They just took out the defending champ Aces in OT and are in the finals vs the Dream. And they were wearing white and purple! They had Veronica's sister Kayla on the pregame show and Veronica was the first post-game interview. They will have the home court advantage should be champs in only their 2nd year!
I was glad to see there is a panel featuring Ron Burton on the outside wall of Ryan Field. The Burton family is so loyal to NU and has exemplified what the university is all about. Veronica is a great story in the WNBA and is always so gracious in her interviews.
She is also imho one of the prettiest players in wnba
