Katy Allen named Ivy Rookie of the Week

Penn women’s basketball seems to have found some depth at the post in the form of freshman Katy Allen, who was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.

This past week, Allen had her best games — averaging 13 points. In Saturday’s 73-63 victory over Dartmouth, she scored a career-high 17 points, which included a key three pointer in overtime to tip the momentum in the Red and Blue’s favor.

The forward also proved to be more than just a pure shooter, grabbing four rebounds and two steals.

She has been starting regularly since senior forward Jess Knapp’s injury in late December.

Fellow freshman forward Kara Bonenberger, who scored 17 points and pulled down nine boards against the Big Green, has been named Rookie of the Week four times this season. It appears that Red and Blue women’s hoops team has quite a lot to look forward to in the next three years.
