Allen matriculated at Brown University and started playing with the school's soccer team in 2019. As a freshman, Allen played in 15 games and helped the Brown Bears win an Ivy League title and qualify for the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994.[2] Allen and the Bears won the conference title the following year as well.[2] As time passed, Allen rose up the ranks of the squad and eventually became a team captain for Brown.[6] She had an explosive start to 2023, scoring two goals in Brown's opening match and subsequently being named the Ivy League Offensive player of the Week.[7] At the end of her final season, Allen was named to the All-Ivy second team;[8] she had previously been an honorable mention the year before.[9] She finished her time at Brown having played in 58 matches and scored 5 goals.[2]
