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.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Three University of Iowa softball student-athletes earned postseason recognition by the Big Ten Conference announced on Wednesday.
Freshman infielder Jena Young earned first team all-Big Ten and all-freshman honors. Junior outfielder Rylie Moss earned second team honors and senior Sammy Diaz was selected to the all-defensive team and earned the team’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.
Young, a Winterset, Iowa, native started every game for Iowa and finished second on the team hitting .373. In her freshman campaign she recorded a hit in all but 10 games and did not go longer than two games without recording a hit. Young led all freshman in the Big Ten in batting average. She is the toughest batter to strikeout, statistically in the Big Ten, and struck out the least (5) number of times amongst starters in the conference. Young led the Hawkeyes with four home runs and 15 multi-hit games including a career-high 4-for-4 against Minnesota.
Moss, a Muscatine, Iowa, native led the team hitting .390 in 39 games which was sixth best in the Big Ten. She started every game in right field before suffering a season-ending injury against Nebraska. She recorded a hit in all but seven games in which she played and at one point had a career-high 14 game on base streak. Moss recorded two three-hit games against CSU-Bakersfield and Michigan.
Diaz, a Cypress, California, native started all 46 games for Iowa at first base. She led the team with a .990 fielding percentage throughout the season and was perfect in Big Ten play. Diaz recorded 289 putouts in 308 chances. She had 16 assists and just three errors on the season.
Iowa has had first team honorees in back-to-back seasons for the first time since Megan Blank in 2014-15. Young is the fourth Hawkeye in four years to earn all-freshman accolades (Jalen Adams in 2023, Brylee Klosterman and Denali Loecker in 2021). Diaz is the first Hawkeye since Cheyenne Pratt in 2017 to earn all-defensive honors.
