Alberelli advanced to the round of 16 in both the NCAA Division III national singles and doubles championships. She was awarded the No. 6 seed for the NCAA singles championship based on her play in the regular season. The senior finished with a 16-12 record in singles and was 17-6 in doubles with Chan. Alberelli is one of two players to have played in every finals for Emory's current streak of three consecutive national team championships. She played No. 5 singles for the 2003 national champs, No. 3 in 2004 and No. 1 this season. Alberelli clinched the deciding team point in its NCAA quarterfinal win this season against Redlands (Calif.). She had seven wins this season in singles against opponents from teams ranked in the top 20 nationally. Alberelli was chosen the regional winner of the ITA's Arthur Ashe Jr. Award for sportsmanship and leadership. The ITA ranked her fourth in the region among singles players and first (with Chan) among doubles pairings. She was voted the conference Most Valuable Performer. She finished her career as a four-time all-conference honoree in singles and three times in doubles. Alberelli graduated in eighth place on the school's all-time list for career singles wins (72), ninth in career singles win percentage (.758), fifth in career doubles wins (77), and fifth in career doubles win percentage (.794).

Junior (2004):

Alberelli, a junior, not only became an All-American for the first time in her career, but also became the sixth Emory player ever to attain All-America status in singles and doubles in the same year. She advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA singles championship and to the finals of the NCAA doubles championship (the latter with teammate Margaret Moscato). As a result, Alberelli was eighth in the final national singles rankings and second in the national doubles rankings. Last fall, she and Moscato finished third in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national doubles championship. The duo combined for a 32-5 doubles record this season, a school record for doubles wins and the fourth-best ever doubles win percentage. Alberelli was 18-4 in singles this season. Alberelli was fifth in the final regional singles rankings, a jump from last season when she was not among the 28 players listed in the regional rankings. Alberelli's emergence led to her winning the national "Player to Watch" award from the ITA and her team's Most Improved Player award. She was selected to the all-conference team in singles for the third time and in doubles for the second time. Alberelli has career records of 56-11 in singles and 56-14 in doubles. She stands 15th place on the school's all-time list for both career singles wins and career doubles wins. She is on pace to place third in career doubles win percentage (.800) and seventh in career singles win percentage (.836).
