The following year, Allen recovered from a spring knee injury and played with the Courage's amateur USL W League side in the summer of 2023.[3][4] She made 46 saves and kept 8 shutouts in 21 games as a redshirt sophomore, including two shutouts in the 2023 NCAA tournament.[2] She tied her career high with nine saves in the team's 4–3 NCAA quarterfinal loss to BYU.[2][12] After her redshirt sophomore season, she declared for the 2024 NWSL Draft.[13]
