She also has contributed well over 75 hours of community service in her four years at MSU Denver, and she overcame a significant injury that cut short her sophomore season and delayed the start of her junior year.

Robb has been named to the All-America first team by both the D2CCA and AFCA this season, and was on the D2CCA All-America first team and the AFCA All-America second team in 2021.
 
Robb is a three-time D2CCA All-South Central Region first team selection (2021, 2023, 2024) and made the NFCA's all-region first team in 2021 and 2024 as well as the second team in 2023.

Her .457 average this season is the third-best ever at MSU Denver and her hits total was a program record. She also compiled top-five program marks for a season in doubles (second), runs (tied for fourth, 62), total bases and stolen bases.
 
Among active Division II players, she's fifth in career doubles (64), 11th in total bases (421), 15th in hits (257) and 19^th in runs (174) despite missing time in 2022 due to injury. She is seventh among all active NCAA players, regardless of division, in doubles.
 
Robb is second in program history in hits, doubles and total bases, third in runs and triples, fourth in RBIs, and fifth in stolen bases.
 
She graduated with a 4.0 cumulative GPA while majoring in sport management, and she is a two-time D2ADA Academic Achievement Award winner and an eight-time selection to the MSU Denver Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
