Expert Analysis
Guilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Allen was the starting goalkeeper in the Albion Hurricanes FC U16 team that defeated Lonestar ATX Royal RL U16 8-1 and downed Dallas Texans RL U17 8-0. Even if her shot-stopping wasn’t much tested with her team largely dominating both games, she demonstrated great focus. Allen was always ready to reach when her team needed her, and made a couple of good saves on long-distance shots. She was also very quick to leave her spot and get to a pass in behind the backline, stopping what could have been a good chance for the Texans.

Allen was recognized as the seventh-best goalkeeper in the state in the Rankings and ranks 48th overall. She goes to Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart and competes in the ECNL League with Albion Hurricanes FC . Her reflexes and quickness between the posts make of her one of the best shot-stoppers in the age group. Allen does a great job of extending her arms to increase her body range, but is also very intentional and intelligent with how she uses her legs, often performing impressive stops on low shots. The goalkeeper navigates the penalty box very well in crosses and is very quick when she has to leave her spot to challenge opponents or get to passes behind the backline.

Allen plays for the Albion Hurricanes FC G10 team that will have Legends FC, De Anza Force and LA Breakers FC as their opponents in Arizona. She’s an excellent shot-stopper who has impressive reflexes and is very explosive when going for the ball. Allen does a great job of using her legs to extend her body range in 1v1 plays and often frustrates opponents who attempt to score on her with low shots. Her spatial awareness in the penalty box is another part of the game that stands out, as she is very precise when leaving the goal to intercept crosses and passes behind the backline.
