During her time with Princeton, Alarie was first in program history in Ivy Player of the Week awards (20), blocks (249), double-doubles (40) and points (1,703). She was also in the top 10 in rebounds, field goal attempts, rebounding average, field goals, scoring averaging, free throws, free-throw attempts and free throw percentage.

As a senior, Alarie earned three All-American titles (Associated Press, WBCA and USBWA). She was the second Ivy League player (Allison Feaster '98 Harvard) to pick up two WBCA Coaches' All-America honors. The three-time Ivy League Player of the Year also became the first Ivy player to be honored with two Associated Press All-American selections.

Princeton finished her senior campaign at 26-1 and on a 22-game winning streak. The Tigers' streak was the second longest in the country behind No. 1 South Carolina. Head coach Carla Berube's unit wrapped up the year with an RPI of No. 9, the best mark in Ivy history.
