A three-time All-Ivy League selection, Sterman was a first-team pick as a sophomore, a second-team pick as a senior and an honorable mention honoree during her junior year. Sterman graduated with career Cornell records for most career saves (8), appearances (132), games started (104) and innings pitched (679.0) and was among the top three in lowest ERA (second, 1.55), most career wins (second, 77), complete games (second, 71), shutouts (second, 18), and strikeouts (second, 437) and lowest opponent batting average (third, .232). She was a two-time Academic All-Ivy selection. Sterman was a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) second-team all-region pick as a junior after going 19-4 with a 1.43 ERA. During that season, she hurled a no-hitter against Penn and pitched a complete game in one of Cornell's greatest wins, a first round upset of nationally ranked Long Beach State at the 2004 NCAA Championship, giving head coach Dick Blood his 300th career victory. Sterman ended her senior season with a 22-8 overall record with a 1.64 ERA. She ranks among the top 10 in Ivy history in saves and appearances (second), wins and complete games (third), innings pitched (fourth), shutouts (sixth) and ERA (10th). Sterman 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.
