Since her time at Mason, Robertshaw has served as one of the sport's most prominent ambassadors. A 15-year head coach at Boston University, Robertshaw led the Terriers to six America East titles and six NCAA appearances. She also served as an eight-year assistant coach for the U.S. Women's National Team and led the program to two gold medals. In November 2019, Robertshaw was named as the new executive director of the IWLCA, where she continues to foster the growth and development of the sport she loves.
 
One of the fiercest defensive players in Mason history, Robertshaw started 65 games for the women's lacrosse program from 1995-98. An ILWCA and USWLA All-America selection, Robertshaw was a four-time All-CAA pick for the Patriots. She ranks third all-time at Mason in ground balls and is seventh in caused turnovers. She was named to the Colonial Athletic Association's Silver Anniversary Team to recognize her extraordinary career.
