Spring 2021 (RS-Freshman): After sitting out the 2019 season using her redshirt campaign, Barton became one of the top liberos in the league.

The rookie needed six career matches to produce her first career double-double of 22 digs and 10 assists in a five-set match at Mars Hill on March 20. She is the first libero since at least 2010 (as far as game logs go back) in program history to produce a double-double of any kind. With 4.81 digs per set she ranked fourth in the league and her 202 total scoops were also good for fourth. She led the team in digs eight times with nine efforts in double figures including three with at least 20. The best outing of the came in a five-set win over Queens on March 5 where she produced 33 digs. Showcasing her skills outside of being a top defensive stalwart, Barton ranked fifth in the league in total aces with 15, good for a 0.36 average racking up a season-high three in three different outings.

2019: Did Not Play, used a redshirt season.
