A four-time first-team All-Ivy League selection, Varde became the 10th conference player and first Cornellian to reach that milestone. The 2001 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Varde was an ECAC first-team all-star member and a Louisville Slugger/NFCA Mid-Atlantic region first team selection as a junior in 2003. Varde graduated with school records for slugging percentage (.622), on-base percentage (.429), games played (198), games started (196), runs scored (160), hits (207), walks (72), and total bases (370). She ended her career among the school's career leaders in batting average (second, .348), at bats (second, 595), doubles (second, 40), home runs (second, 37), RBI (second, 122), stolen bases (third, 21) and triples (sixth, six). Nearly all those numbers ranked in the top 10 in Ivy history upon her graduation. She led the Ivy League in batting average as a freshman and junior. Varde was a two-time Academic All-Ivy pick who was part of two Ivy championship and NCAA teams and helped the Big Red to a 140-60 record overall and a 39-17 conference mark.
