Robinson posted 20 points on 9 for 10 shooting in a matchup with Murray State a season ago while also grabbing a season-high seven rebounds.

Robinson becomes the latest addition to the Lady Bears in what’s been a busy offseason for Beth Cunningham as she heads into her third year.

She’s the third post player to join an overhauled frontcourt, joining Mizzou transfer Sarah Linthacum and Seton Hall transfer Makennah White. The Lady Bears have also landed transfers Zoe Stewart (Murray State) and Cady Pauley (Virginia).
