Senior Season — 2014-15Letourneau was named a College Squash Association All-America First Team selection for the fourth time in her career, making her just the second Big Red student-athletie to achieve that feat in program history. A fixture at the No. 1 position for the Big Red over the last four years, Letourneau served as a co-captain and posted a team-best 12-4 record and was ranked sixth in the nation at season's end. She advanced as far as the quarterfinals at the CSA Individual Championships for the third consecutive year. Nine of her 12 victories came in three sets, including four of her team-high five wins in Ivy League play — which led to her fourth All-Ivy League selection. She was also named to the Winter 2015 All-Ivy League All-Academic Team. Letourneau wrapped her career on East Hill with a cumulative record of 42-23, with all but two of those matches coming from the No. 1 position.
Junior Season — 2013-14Letourneau finished the season ranked sixth in the nation individually, one spot better than her finish last season and three spots better than at the end of her freshman season. She was 9-6 in dual matches, primarily from the top spot in the order, before advancing to the quarterfinals of the College Squash Association's Individual Championships. She had three-game victories in both matches this season against rival Stanford, helping the Big Red hold steady as the No. 6 team in the nation from start to finish. Letourneau is the Big Red's first three-time All-Ivy League winner since Olga Puidgemont Sola garnered the same honors for four consecutive seasons from 1999-2002. Earlier this month, Letourneau was named a three-time CSA All-America First Team selection – also the Big Red's first since Puidgemont Sola.
Sophomore Season — 2012-13Letourneau moved up the national rankings to seventh in the country by season's end, once again being placed on the All-Ivy League First Team. She was once again used exclusively in the No. 1 position, where she was 9-7, and was particularly strong early in the season, when she won six of her first seven matches — including a four-game clash with Pamela Chua of Stanford in the Big Red's 5-4 victory over the rival Cardinal. Letourneau qualified for the College Squash Association Individual Championships for a second straight season, competing in the top-flight Ramsay Cup. She defeated Yale's Katie Ballaine and Penn's Nabilla Ariffin to advance to the quarterfinals before losing to eventual nation champion Amanda Sobhy, of Harvard.
Freshman Season — 2011-12Letourneau burst onto the college scene with a solid freshman season that saw her used exclusively at the No. 1 spot by head coach Julee Devoy. She garnered All-Ivy League and first-team All-America honors. Letourneau posted a 12-6 record while getting stronger throughout the season, finishing up with a national ranking of No. 9. She defeated Penn's Nabilla Ariffin in both of their meetings, and twice won deciding matches that turned into 5-4 Cornell victories. The first was against Dartmouth's Corey Schafer on Feb. 4, and the second was against Stanford's Pamela Chua in the consolation semifinals at the Howe Cup. That match was particularly significant, because it allowed the Big Red to climb over Stanford to No. 6 in the national rankings after spending the entire regular season one spot lower.
Prior to CornellLetourneau finished seventh in the World Junior Women's Squash Championship in 2009, then ninth in 2011. She also earned a bronze medal with Team Alberta in the 2011 Canada Winter Games.
