Aryanna Allen '23 Recruiting Profile

     Hello Coaches, I am a 5”2 forward and attacking mid from Northern Indiana.  I am a 16 year old junior.  I am looking for a college to further my academic knowledge and my soccer career.  I have been playing soccer since I was three years old, competing at many places and levels.  I like to use my voice on the field to help my teammates understand what is coming.  Through out Covid I have used my time off to keep up on my skill and start weight lifting.  I would consider myself very coachable and good at taking criticism.  My coaches consider me a diverse player.  My Freshman season at Argos High School I made it to the Regional final.  My Sophomore year I made it to Semi-State.  

     Athletically, I am looking for a college that will be competitive and that I will be able to make an impact on.  I want to be challenged and have a team that has the mentality to always look for improvement.  Academically, I want the college that I go to to be a good fit.  Playing soccer has impacted my life majorly and made me who I am today.  For me, soccer is a way to distress and refocus myself.  

     After my Sophomore season I started to practice with the South Bend Lions.  Playing with that team was very different from what I was used to.  That was my first time since second grade that I had to play with a whole new group of girls.  It was a great experience for me and I liked the aspect of getting out of what I am used to.  I also think that it greatly expanded my skill level.  With that team we did a lot of training and played one game.  I had a lot of fun playing and as that came to an end my travel season was starting up.
