Keyonna Allen is in her third season as the Camels’ director of operations. She handles all aspects of team travel, social media, and community service projects in addition to administrative office duties.

A three-year letter-winner under head coach Ronny Fisher at Presbyterian College, Allen finished her collegiate playing career at Wake Forest as a graduate transfer.

Campbell saw unprecedented success in Allen’s first season with the Camels in 2016-17. CU completed an eight-win turnaround to claim the program’s eighth 20-win campaign and finish 21-10 overall.

The Camels also claimed the program’s first-ever NCAA statistical championship by holding opponents to a Division I-low 49.6 ppg.  Campbell was the only program to finish below the 50-point threshold in 2016-17 after holding 10 opponents to 40 points or fewer.

Campbell earned a first-round bye in the Big South tournament in 2017-18, en route to a 15-15 record. The squad, again fielded an elite defense, allowing 51.9 ppg, which ranked third in all of NCAA Division I.

Allen was named to the 2014-15 All-Big South second team after leading Presbyterian with 10.0 points per game and 5.8 rebounds per game. She shot 47.5 percent (123-of-259) from the floor playing in 31 contests for the Blue Hose at an average of 23.1 minutes per game.

The Forest Park, Georgia native left PC with career averages of 8.0 points per game (738 total) and 5.3 rebounds per game (488 total), in addition to 62 steals and 61 blocks. She appeared in 92 contests with starts in 71 and averaged 21.0 minutes per game.

Allen played in 31 games at Wake Forest during the 2015-16 season. She made eight starts in the first nine games of the season and immediately moved into a key leadership role for the Demon Deacons. Allen scored a season-high eight points on four-straight possessions against Miami and pulled down a season-high seven rebounds in two different contests.

Allen had a four-year prep career at Forest Park High School and led her team for the Georgia 4-A Final Four as a Wendy’s High School Heisman finalist.

She graduated from Presbyterian with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in coaching and earned a Master of Arts in liberal studies from Wake Forest in 2016.
