Early life

Allen grew up in Bear, Delaware. [2] She attended Cab Calloway School of the Arts and was a four-year class president. [2] She started off playing for the CCSA Varsity soccer team as an eighth grader and amassed 92 goals across her five seasons on the team. [2] [3] Allen was also a kicker on the school's football team and dabbled in track and field. [4] She played club soccer for Delaware Rush and was a member of Delaware's Olympic Development Program. [2] [5]

College career

Allen matriculated at Brown University and started playing with the school's soccer team in 2019. As a freshman, Allen played in 15 games and helped the Brown Bears win an Ivy League title and qualify for the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994. [2] Allen and the Bears won the conference title the following year as well. [2] As time passed, Allen rose up the ranks of the squad and eventually became a team captain for Brown. [6] She had an explosive start to 2023, scoring two goals in Brown's opening match and subsequently being named the Ivy League Offensive player of the Week. [7] At the end of her final season, Allen was named to the All-Ivy second team; [8] she had previously been an honorable mention the year before. [9] She finished her time at Brown having played in 58 matches and scored 5 goals. [2]

Club career

Clube de Albergaria

On January 11, 2024, Allen signed a contract with Portuguese Clube de Albergaria in the middle of the 2023–24 Campeonato Nacional Feminino. [10] She scored her first league goal on March 24, helping Clube de Albergaria secure a 2–0 victory over Länk Vilaverdense. [11] At the end of her first professional season, Allen had recorded 14 appearances and 3 goals in all competitions.[ citation needed ]

Fort Lauderdale United FC

Fort Lauderdale United FC of the USL Super League signed Allen on June 12, 2024, ahead of the inaugural Super League season. [12] Allen played in the club's first-ever match, a 1–1 draw with Spokane Zephyr FC. During the game, she conceded a penalty kick that led to Spokane's only goal of the match. [13] Fort Lauderdale and Spokane met again on December 7, 2024, with Fort Lauderdale earning a 2–1 win via goals from Addie McCain and, later, Allen. [14] It was her first USL Super League goal. She started in 5 of her 14 appearances across the season and made one playoff cameo as Fort Lauderdale United finished as postseason runners-up to the Tampa Bay Sun. [15]

The following season, Allen struggled to earn significant playing time. Over the first half of the campaign, she recorded 63 minutes over 4 league games. On January 7, 2026, Allen departed from Fort Lauderdale United on a mutual contract termination. She had made 18 appearances in all competitions over one and a half years. [15]
