Winterburn headed to the States off the back of a successful spell with Charnwood College and Leicester Riders, whilst also making two All-Tournament teams on junior international duty with GB.
The Northampton native was a Young Player of the Year award winner in the WBBL and became the inaugural Under-19 Women’s game MVP at the 2019 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic.
Winterburn has averaged 3.7 points with a season-high of 17 points against South Dakota State with totals of 38 rebounds, 22 assists and 13 steals in 12.0 minutes per outing.
Oregon are currently the number three ranked team in college basketball with the star duo Sabrina Ionescu and Satou Sabally tipped to go 1-2 in this year’s WNBA Draft.
The Ducks close out their regular season schedule against Washington before the Pac-12 conference championship gets underway.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
