DeHay spent the last two seasons with the Cardinal, who were nationally ranked and made the NCAA tournament each year. DeHay played eight games as a freshman and nine games as a sophomore, scoring two goals.
"Robyn brings a wealth of experience to us," Tenzing said. "She spent some time at one of the top programs in the country and played in two postseasons. Robyn is a wonderful one-on-one artist who has phenomenal speed and we are absolutely pleased to have an experienced talent like her in our program."
DeHay, a former Gatorade State Player of the Year, is the fourth player to transfer to Hawaii in the past two seasons and second from Stanford. Erin Quattromani came from the Cardinal last year.
