Warren Burgess, a two-time captain of the Saint Anselm men's basketball team, averaged 5.7 assists per game in a standout career for the Hawks before graduating in 1994. Scoring 1,260 career points at Saint Anselm in 117 career games, Burgess presently ranks third all-time in career assists (662), fourth in steals (188) and eighth in minutes played (3,533).
As a junior, Burgess racked up 234 assists, 62 steals and played in over 1,100 minutes for the Hawks, a single-season program record at the time, as the team sprinted out to a 20-11 record and the team's third NE10 Championship title in program history. During his freshman season, he equaled the team's single-game record for free throws made (17 vs. Quinnipiac, 02/09/91).
An All-Conference performer for Saint Anselm, Burgess helped Saint Anselm to 38 victories in his final two seasons and scored a career-high 27 points in his final game, which happened to be in the NCAA postseason. Burgess remains the only student-athlete in team history with over 1,200 career points, 600 career assists and over 175 career steals.
