Allison helped usher in a new era in Otterbein women’s soccer, leading the Cardinals to their first-ever Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) regular-season championship and first appearance in the OAC Tournament championship game as a senior captain in 2002. Also that year, the Cardinals set records for most wins (15), most OAC wins (8) and most shutouts (9).  Allison was selected 2002 OAC Co-Defender of the Year for her efforts. Over the course of her four-year career, she started every game and played 6,645 of 6,677 minutes. Allison was named All-OAC four times, All-Ohio twice, and All-Great Lakes Region twice. She was also named to the Academic All-OAC team both her junior and senior seasons. Since leaving Otterbein, Allison has been active in coaching youth soccer, and spent four years coaching the freshman girl’s team at Worthington Kilbourne High School. Allison and her husband, Jonathan, are expecting their first child in December.
