AMES, Iowa – Iowa State junior Angelina Allen has been named the Big 12 Player of the Week following another outstanding week on the diamond, the conference announced Tuesday.

Allen appeared in and started all five games in left field, hitting .684 out of the two spot. Allen hammered 13 hits, eight of which went for extra bases – four doubles and four homers – on her way to 29 total bases and nine RBI, all of which led the team. In her 19 at-bats, Allen didn’t once strikeout, averaging a .714 on-base percentage.

She had multiple hits in all five games over the weekend, turning in a four-hit game, three-hit game and three two-hit games. Allen tied her career-high for RBI in a game with four against Northern Colorado as she smashed two homers – a three-run shot and a solo shot – in part of the Cyclones’ 14-1 run-rule victory. In total, Allen slugged 1.526 on the weekend, making her OPS (on-base plus slugging) over 2.000.

Allen also set a career-high in runs scored against the Bears, crossing the plate three times. It was her second time homering twice in a single game in her career, with both coming this season.

Angelina also tied the school record for most doubles in a single game, recording three against UNC in Saturday’s game two action. Only five other times has a Cyclone had three doubles in a game, with the most recent player being former All-American Sami Williams, who did so in 2019 against Purdue.

Speaking of Williams, Allen is the first Cyclone to earn Big 12 Player of the Week honors since Sami did so twice in 2021. Former ISU pitcher Ellie Spelhaug was the last Cyclone honored with a weekly conference award, earning Big 12 Pitcher of the Week in May of 2022.

The 2023 Academic All-Big 12 First Team member led all Big 12 players in hits, runs scored, homers, doubles and total bases on the week and currently leads the league in batting average (.543), hits (38) and total bases (70).
