She also contributed three rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. This came in 27 games played and 25 starts.

As a true freshman, Robertson played in 28 games and started one. She averaged 14.4 points on 35.9% field goal shooting and 34.2% shooting on threes. This mark led the team despite her being her first year of college ball.

She also contributed 2.3 rebounds and two assists per game. This resulted in her being named A-10 Sixth Woman of the Year and to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team.

Robertson was the No. 37 overall recruit and No. 8 guard entering the 2021 signing period according to Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. She was a part of the 2022 class.

She earned a pair of First-Team All-District honors and two Fort Worth Star Offensive MVP awards while playing at Boswell High School in Fort Worth, Texas.
