Farrell capped off an outstanding career for the Cornell women's lacrosse program by being named to the IWLCA/US Lacrosse All-America third team in 2008. Farrell, a Tewaaraton Trophy watch list selection and two-year member of the junior national team, led the Big Red in points (54), assists (26), game-winning goals (3) and ground balls (25) en route to first-team All-Ivy and IWLCA All-Northeast District honors in 2008. The two-time Ivy League Player of the Week graduated as the school's all-time leader in points (213) and assists (91). The first-team IWLCA all-region pick in 2007 also held school records for season assists (34) and assists in a game (6), which she has reached twice. Farrell set an NCAA record for fastest goal to start a game (8 seconds) in a 2007 win at Loyola (MD). Her 1.62 assists per game as a senior were good for first in the Ivy League and 27th in the nation, while her 3.38 points per game rank her fourth in the conference. She ended her career by registering at least one point in her final 53 games, the third-longest streak in the country. She was a second-team all-region pick as both a sophomore and junior.
