Donna Bourke was a force on every corner of the basketball court during her time in a Gettysburg women’s basketball uniform.
A three-year letterwinner and two-time All-Middle Atlantic Conference Southwest selection, she still dots some of the top spots in the women’s basketball record book more than 30 years after graduation. Her 23-rebound performance late in the 1990 season at Albright still stands as the best single-game outing. It was one of four times she grabbed no fewer than 20 rebounds in a game – something no other player in the history of Gettysburg women’s basketball can claim. All told, she had three games with 20 points and 20 rebounds among her 33 career double-doubles.
She established program marks for career free throws made (264), attempted (505), rebounding average (9.2 rpg), and steals (169) as well as single-season free throws made (108), attempted (207), rebounds (277), rebounding average (12.7) and steals (62). All of those marks remain in the top seven all-time. A career 40.2-percent shooter, she averaged 11.4 points to go with her 9.2 rebounds per game.
