Robertson joins men's volleyball left side Eric Loeppky (Steinbach, Man.) as the Spartans 2019-20 Player of the Year Award winners.
Robertson capped an incredible five-year career at TWU with one of the best individual seasons in program history. Robertson set TWU's single-season scoring record by tallying 14 goals on the year, while captaining the Spartans to a Pacific Division leading 12-1-1 record – a mark that equaled TWU's record for most points in a season with 37 (2011).
Robertson's 14 goals led the conference by a five-goal margin, closing out the regular season on a six-game goal-scoring streak. Playing in the toughest division in the country, Robertson's 14 goals also put her in a tie for second in U SPORTS. Her 19 total points tied her with teammate
