A Columbus, Ohio native, she took over the head coaching reigns in January 2013 and promptly produced BUs first-ever first team all-conference player and two more all-rookie selections.

Over the last three seasons Allens teams have won a total of 19 games, the winningest stretch in program history. The 2016 season saw the program's first-ever America East Rookie of the Year in Rebecca Golderman. The conference also awarded Binghamton one first team, one second team, two All-Rookie, and two All-Academic selections to wrap up the teams most decorated season. In 2014, Allen lead the team to the most wins in program history (7) and her team produced a first team all-conference selection and two all-rookie players. Her passionate, mentoring leadership model served to quickly unite the Bearcats, who made significant strides on and off the field. Allen also coached the programs first-ever Under Armour/IWLCA North-South All-Star, Katherine Hunsberger.

As an assistant coach, Allen recruited an ESPN top-50 recruit and played a key role in the development of Binghamtons first two-time America East all-conference selection, defender Siobhan Menz in 2009 and 2010. As the programs academic liaison, Allen steered the 2011 squad to the top GPA in the America East for womens lacrosse.

I would like to thank Patrick Elliott and Binghamton University for giving me this opportunity, for which I am incredibly grateful, Allen said. I am excited to continue leading this outstanding group of young women and growing our womens lacrosse program. I think Pat and the committee saw that my vision for this program parallels the high expectations and standards of our athletics department and this University. I look forward to what the future holds for Binghamton womens lacrosse.
