    Robert Morris made a strong return to NCAA women's hockey last season and now looks to take another step up the standings in the new College Hockey America conference and nationally. 

    Last year Robert Morris relied on a strong group of transfers to help them compete. They are adding though transfers again this season, including goaltender Lucy Philips would could emerge as a steal for the program. Now they've had another full year to recruit, and are bringing a new set of recruits in to help the program take another step.

    "We're thrilled to welcome these new first year players to our RMU Women's hockey family," said RMU head coach Logan Bittle in a school news release. "Each of them brings a unique skill set that we are looking forward to seeing integrated into our team."

    Here's a look at Robert Morris' 2024-2025 women's hockey recruiting class.

    T.J. Flores - F - 2006 - Flores has been a consistent scorer in OWHL for the past three seasons and should turn into a top six forward with Robert Morris. She's coming from the Burlington Barracudas program and brings the potential to make offensive contributions immediately. 

    Emma Goding - D - 2005 - Goding brings two seasons of SDHL experience to the Colonials lineup having played for MoDo, one of the top teams in Sweden. She was part of Sweden's silver medal winning U-18 national team and should bring a physical presence, who plays like a veteran to their lineup.

    Shayne Desjardins - D - 2005 - A skilled defender with good size, Desjardins played for the OWHL's Whitby Wolves last season. She's a good distributor of the puck, and looks like a future power play regular on the point.

    Mya Kearns - D - 2006 - Bringing in some local talent, Robert Morris is hoping Pittsburgh Pens Elite blueliner Mya Kearns can translate her athleticism to impact on the ice. 

    Mya Farr - D - 2006 - A steady blueliner coming from the London Devilettes in the OWHL, Farr is expected to be a reliable, shutdown presence on RMU's backend.
