The Lone Tree, Colorado, native had three goals, four assists, and seven points in two games against Pitt and Drexel. Her second goal against Pitt secured the Nittany Lions an overtime victory, and she had a career-best day against Drexel.
Allen currently leads the team in goals this season with 15, which is the most by any Power Conference freshman in the country.
Allen and the rest of the Nittany Lions will look to remain undefeated as they head to Ithaca, New York, on Saturday, February 28, to take on Cornell. The game will start at 3 p.m.
