Trombley, of Phoenix, Ariz., is Cornell’s only basketball player named first team all-conference four times in a career. She emerged onto the collegiate scene during the Rams’ final season in the Iowa Conference (2011-12), followed by three distinguished campaigns in the Midwest Conference (2012-15).
 
The sharp-shooting guard registered 1,478 career points, a school record that stands today. Trombley also holds career marks for field goals attempted (1,245), 3-pointers made (225) and 3-pointers attempted (615). She is Cornell’s record holder for free throw percentage in a season (90.4 in 2012-13) and shares the program record for 3-pointers made in a game (7).   
 
Her name etched in Cornell’s record books 32 times, Trombley drained at least 50 3-pointers in four consecutive seasons and was a career 36.6-percent shooter from beyond the arc. She buried 283 career free throws, connecting at a sizzling 83.7-percent clip.  
 
Trombley played 100 games for the Rams, including nine in the postseason. Trombley’s teams compiled a glossy 70-31 record, highlighted by an impressive three-year MWC run of 45-9.
 
Trombley directed the Rams to back-to-back MWC regular season championships in 2012-13 and 2013-14, snapping a conference title drought of 31 years. The record-breaking 2012-13 squad finished 25-2 and secured the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. The host Rams handled St. Scholastica in the first round, 76-54, and then lost a 53-52 nail-biter to St. Thomas in the Round of 32.
 
Trombley was named Cornell’s 2015 Sportswoman of the Year and 2012 First-Year Female Athlete of the Year.
