Roster Notes:
- The Red Raiders’ roster features nine players, including four returners from the 2025-26 team that advanced to the NCAA Championships and five newcomers.
- The four returners include three seniors who all made the trip to Carlsbad, California, last May in Maja Ambroziak (Poland), Cameron Freund (Maryland) and Klara Hurtova (Czechia), as well as junior Emily Lee (California), who continues her recovery from a season-ending injury suffered last spring.
- Texas Tech welcomes Tarini Bhoga (Texas), who begins her junior season with the Red Raiders after competing at UT Arlington during her first two collegiate seasons. The remaining four newcomers are freshmen from four different countries: Constance Detroye (France),
Roisin Scanlon (England/Bahamas), Parat Sukanant (Thailand) and Angle Yin (Hong Kong). - Texas Tech made its fifth all-time NCAA Championship appearance last season (1996, 2015, 2017, 2023, 2026) and will look to make the NCAA Championships in consecutive seasons for the first time in program history. Head coach JoJo Robertson enters her 17th season at Texas Tech in 2026-27 and has guided the Red Raiders to four of the program’s five NCAA Championship appearances.
