One of the most decorated athletes in the history of the Smith College volleyball program, Sorensen was named the 2005 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Athlete of the Year while leading the Pioneers to the NEWMAC title. A two-time All-American and four-time New England Women's Volleyball Association (NEWVA) and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-New England honoree, Sorensen was the first Smith athlete to be named AVCA New England Player of the Year in 2005. She was a Seven Sisters All-Tournament team member all four years in addition to being named the tournament's Most Valuable Player in 2004. In her senior season, Sorensen led the NEWMAC in digs per game and was second in kills per game and hitting percentage. As of her 2017 induction into the Smith Athletics Hall of Fame, the four-time All-Conference honoree is still Smith's all-time career record holder in kills and digs and is the single-season leader in the same categories.
