quickly became an offensive force, ultimately earning team MVP honors.

During her senior season, Allison switched from attacker to midfielder. She still
managed to score 32 goals from the midfielder position but added 20 assists, which
ranked her 12 th nationally in that category. Following her senior season, she became the
1 st UC Davis lacrosse player to earn both IWLCA and U.S. Lacrosse 1 st team All-
American honors. Nine years later, Allison still holds the UC Davis school records for
goals (132), assists (62) and total points (194). Allison completed her lacrosse career by
being selected to participate in the 2000 Friendship Games in Japan as a member of the
