AMES, Iowa – Junior outfielder Angelina Allen continues to rack up postseason awards, as the Moreno Valley, Calif., native has been named a Second Team All-American by D1Softball, the organization announced Tuesday.

Allen becomes the fourth Cyclone in program history to be named an All-American, joining Sami Williams (2021, 2019), Erica Martinez (2002) and Jenny Condon (1989). Williams, Martinez, and Condon were all NFCA All-Americans, while Allen became the school’s first-ever selection by D1Softball, who began postseason awards in 2022.

Angelina is the second player in school annals to be named a Second Team All-American, joining Condon. Only Sami Williams, in her 2021 season, has achieved a higher recognition as she was named a First Team All-American.

After earning All-Big 12 Second Team and NFCA First Team All-Midwest Region, Allen has continued to be rewarded for one of the best seasons in program history.

One of just four Cyclones to start all 51 games, the Iowa State left fielder led the team in most every offensive category. Allen slashed .435/.489/.759, leading the team in all three departments. Her .435 batting average and .489 on-base percentage are the second-highest in a single season in program history.

Angelina recorded 74 hits in 170 at-bats, scored 38 runs and tallied a team-high 43 RBI. She also registered a team-high 33 extra-base hits on the year, recording 22 doubles – the second-most in school history and the third-most in the nation – and 11 home runs.

Allen has been building toward this recognition all season, as she finished 2023 strong, being named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team at the end of the year. As the 2024 season began, she became the first Cyclone since Williams in 2021 to be named the Big 12 Player of the Week (3/5) and led the league in both hits and doubles.
