A third-team CoSIDA Academic All-American as a senior, she was a three-time first-team Academic All-District selection. She earned first-team NFCA all-region accolades as a sophomore after leading the Ancient Eight in triples (5) and RBI (55), pacing the Big Red with home runs (12), total bases (121), and slugging percentage (.766) and hitting .399. Menaker was twice named Ivy League Player of the Week during her career. As a junior in 2009, Menaker batted .369 with a team-high 16 doubles to go along with nine home runs, 47 RBI and 41 runs scored while starting all 55 contests in helping Cornell to a conference championship. She ranked second nationally in Division I in doubles (20) as a senior, a school and Ivy season record as Cornell repeated as Ivy champs. In her four seasons, Cornell posted a 154-52 record (61-17 Ivy) with two Ivy titles and NCAA appearances.
