2015-16 D3HOCKEY.COM WOMEN'S ALL-REGION TEAMS

MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College women's hockey goalie Erika Allen (SR, Roseville, Minn.) was named to the D3hockey.com Women's All-West Region Team as a third-team selection, it was announced on Wednesday.

The honor is the latest for Allen, who earned All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors this season, after earning All-MIAC Honorable-Mention selection last season. A transfer from Bethel, she earned All-MIAC honors there in 2013-14 and MIAC All-Rookie Team honors in 2012-13.

In her second season at Augsburg, Allen became one of the top goalies in the conference, finishing with an 11-9-3 record, 1.72 goals-against-average and .931 save percentage. She was 10-5-3 in league play with a .934 save percentage and 1.66 GAA. She finished her senior season sixth among MIAC goalies in overall GAA and in save percentage, and her 11 wins were third-most among conference goalies. She recorded five shutouts this season -- all in a seven-game span that helped propel the Auggies into the upper half of the league standings.  

Including her first two seasons at Bethel (79 total games), she finished with a 39-28-9 career record with 14 shutouts, a 1.74 GAA and .933 save percentage, playing in 4,612:24 of game time. In her two Auggie seasons (42 games), she finished with a 17-16-8 record with eight shutouts, a .932 save percentage and 1.76 GAA. Her save percentage and GAA are both best in school history, while her eight shutouts are tied for the most in school history.

Under sixth-year head coach Michelle McAteer, Augsburg finished 13-10-3 overall, 10-5-3 in MIAC play in 2015-16. Augsburg qualified for the MIAC postseason playoffs for the fifth time in school history, and the first time since a three-year playoff run from 2002-03 to 2004-05. Augsburg's third-place conference finish was the team's best MIAC finish since the team won the conference regular-season and playoff titles in 1999-2000.
