As a two-time NJCAA champion, Allen knows a thing or two about putting on a show.

That’s exactly what she did on a February night at Cardinal Gym. With the clock winding down to its final second, Allen pulled up and drained a shot as the buzzer sounded, giving her 52 points and the Lady Cardinals’ single-game scoring record. The previous best of 50 had been set by Portia Hill, a member of the Cardinal Hall of Fame, in 1988.

There were many shining moments in Allen’s two years at the college. In addition to the back-to-back national championships, the Lady Cardinals were a combined 72-2 and won two regional and conference titles. In fact, the Lady Cardinals never lost a conference game during her career.

Allen averaged 15.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game as a freshman and 18.5 points per game as a sophomore. She was named an NJCAA All-American both years.

She was also named to the all-NJCAA tournament team as a freshman and was once named NJCAA national player of the week as a sophomore.

Upon the conclusion of her Lady Cardinal career, was rated the top junior college guard in the country and No. 2 overall player.

Allen, one of eight players in college history to leave with two national titles, went on to play at Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech before injuries ended her career. She played in 19 games at A&M.

She was recruited out of Arcadia, Louisiana, by Cardinal Hall of Fame coach Elena Lovato.
