Robins was named an All-Region selection by the American Volleyball Coaches Association in
1994, one of only nine Cowgirls in UW history to earn that honor. As the setter for the 1994
volleyball team, she earned all-Western Athletic Conference first-team honors while leading
Wyoming to the NCAA Tournament. With her quarterbacking the offense, the 1994 Cowgirls set
and still own the school record for most kills in a single season and most assists in a single
season. An extremely versatile player, Robins ranked third on the Wyoming career assist list at
the end of her career and still ranks fifth in career assists today. She also ranks seventh on the
career service aces list and seventh in digs. A four-year letterwinner, Robins also holds the
second best single-season assist total in Cowgirl history, set in 1994. She was named Most
Valuable Player of the 1993 team.
