She averaged 10 points per game during her career and is fourth on the Sharks all-time career rebounds list with 460 rebounds to her credit. Roberts is second on the list for all-time points scored in a single game; she scored 33 points in a 2000 game against Curry College. In addition, she holds the Simmons record for most free throws in a single game.
