The Ivy League's leader in assists this season with 47, Dora has set the Ivy record for assists in a career with her 154 entering the postseason. She also leads the Ivy League in assists-per-game with 3.1 which also ranks No. 6 in the nation. Her 66 points this season are second in the Ivy League, trailing only her teammate Jami MacDonald. Dora's 44 points-per-game this season are No. 3 in the Ivy League and No. 29 among all players in the country.

Over 15 games this season, Allen has held her primary matchup to below her season average in points 10 times.
