Burton, a defender, scored EMU’s first goal with 36 seconds left in the first half. She scored again on a penalty kick just 2:50 into the second half to make it 2-0. The women won 4-1. In Saturday’s 3-0 playoff loss to Virginia Wesleyan, Burton missed most of the second half with a injury. The Marlins scored all their goals in the second half.
