ALESSANDRO ALLEN, MEN'S SOCCER, SR., MIDFIELDER

Opening the season, senior Alessandro Allen has scored both goals for the Tritons on penalty kicks. In the 2022 season, Allen's lone goal of the season was his first-career PK and he is now 3-3 over his career in PKs. Allen's goals allowed UC San Diego to stay within striking distance of both Pacific and San Jose State. The senior was the Tritons' lone representative on the Big West preseason team and he is tied with two others for most goals scored across the conference.
