SEASON OUTLOOK
• The Millersville women's basketball team opens its season Friday when they travel to Lincoln for the annual CIAA/PSAC Challenge. The Marauders will face Lincoln University Friday and Virginia State University on Saturday in Lincoln, Pennsylvania.
• The Marauders, coming off a season in which they went 19-9 and lost in the conference quarterfinals, were slated to finish third in the PSAC this season.
• After starting the 2015-16 season 1-4, Mary Fleig's team rebounded, winning eight of nine games and ended up 14-8 in conference play. The 19 wins were the most since the 2012-13 squad went 21-8.

Robinson averaged 13.9 points per game, 6.7 rebounds per game and 2.3 assists per game as a redshirt junior.
