Coach Tristan delGuidice's quote: "Allie has been an offensive threat since she began playing varsity soccer as a freshman, and she continues to grow and evolve as a player. She works extremely hard on the field and is a terrific two-way player, putting in as much effort defending the opposition and winning 50-50 balls, as she does attacking the net. She has a high-soccer IQ and makes the players around her better. In addition to being the team's leading scorer, she has almost as many assists (12) as she has goals (14). Allie is a terrific player, teammate and person."
