The curtain draws on the Birchmount Park Collegiate grad's four-year soccer commitment to the Big East champion West Virginia University Mountaineers program - which, at 7-2-4 so far this season - looks to be making good on defending its conference crown.
Rushton, a former defender with the USL W-League Toronto Lady Lynx and a perennial national team member, has some big decisions to make in the months ahead.
"I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do after this yet," said the political science/international studies major, who was recognized in September with Big East defensive player of the week honours.
"After completing my undergraduate degree here I'm thinking about (attending) grad school, for my master's. That's the plan right now, anyway."
With the Women's Professional Soccer league set to replace the Women's United Soccer Association next year, Rushton isn't shutting down the prospect of going pro, or even coaching for that matter.
She's also contending with a spell of the travel bug.
"I really want to get the travelling out of me now, because I do eventually want to move back home," said the five-foot, five-inch multi-sport athlete. "I'd also like to continue being a full-time student for a few more years, so, I may stay here or I may go to grad school in England, that's also an option."
One thing is for certain, Rushton will be missed.
"My parents unfortunately don't want to see this all coming to an end either," she said.
Her mother Stephanie, a manager with the national women's program, has been a resource for the program south of the border and has been integral to the exportation of Canadians to the Morgantown-based university.
In reflection, Rushton looks at her time at the school as a great experience and has "loved every minute of it."
"At times it's been the most difficult thing I've ever had to do...I thought that training with the national team was difficult until I came here," she joked. "But it's made into a better player."
Coach Nikki Izzo-Brown acknowledged her star defender will be missed next season and will be a hard act to follow.
"Robin is just a really hard-working leader. She brings a lot of intensity and emotion to the team and it helps motivate others," she said. "And because of her hard work and intelligent play back there, she's really added to our success."
The coach, in her 13th year with the team, is assigned the tough job of finding replacements for eight senior players, including Rushton and Oakville's Deanna Everrett and Amanda Cicchini.
While Izzo-Brown will be biding adieux to three senior Canadian players in May she said team brass will be welcoming three new Canadian imports.
NCAA policy restricts the release of the names of the athletes before signing, she said.
