IRVING, Texas – Junior outfielder Angelina Allen has been named to the All-Big 12 Second Team, the league office announced on Wednesday.

Allen, a Moreno Valley, Calif. native, led Iowa State in most offensive categories and was among the nation’s leaders in doubles, batting average and hits. Angelina slashed .434/.486/.753, leading the team in all three departments.

Allen churned out a team-high 72 hits on the year, with 31 going for extra bases. Her extra-base hits broke down into 20 doubles – the second most in a single season in program history – and 11 homers. Allen’s 72 hits led all Big 12 players, as did her 20 doubles, while her batting average checked in at the third-highest.

Allen’s season has placed her among multiple top ten single-season lists at Iowa State, as she now has the third-highest single-season batting average, fourth-highest single-season slugging percentage, second-highest single-season on-base percentage, eighth-most single-season hits, and fourth-most single-season total bases earned.

A team captain, Angelina has been batting in the two-hole all season behind fellow team captain Milaysia Ochoa. Speaking of Ochoa, Allen joins her fellow outfielder (2023) as well as teammate Carli Spelhaug (2022) and Mikayla Ramos (2021, 2022) as Cyclones who have been named to the All-Big 12 Second Team over the last four years.

This is the fourth on-field recognition that Allen has earned from the Big 12 during her three-year career with the Cyclones. Angelina was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman team in 2022 before being named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team in 2023. Earlier this year, she was named the Big 12 Player of the Week, making her the first Cyclone since Sami Williams in 2021 to earn the distinction.

Iowa State is back in action today in the Big 12 Championship in Oklahoma City. The Cyclones are the No. 9 seed and will open tournament play against the No. 8 seed Texas Tech Red Raiders at 7:30 p.m.
