As a Trojan

Wendy Allen played for the Trojan softball program during the 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003 seasons. Allen was a significant contributor at the plate and in the pitching circle. Though recruited by Michael Johnson and Rick Underwood, Allen played her entire career for Angela Sullivan.

In her freshman season she was more of a force with the bat after posting a .295 batting average with 33 hits. Off the pitching rubber she posted a 2.78 earned-run average (ERA) and 41 strikeouts in 113 innings pitched.

Allen's impact in the field and in the circle grew as a sophomore. At the plate her .283 batting average had more of a punch with 43 hits, 28 runs, 10 doubles, four home runs, and 33 RBIs; she had the second most walks in the program's history (19). On the mound she led the way with the second most wins (14) and innings pitched (152) in program history. Allen added a 2.89 ERA, 62 strike outs in 29 appearances. She was named to the All-TranSouth team.

As a junior her numbers continued to be consistent. Allen grabbed another 12 wins with 14 complete games, 138 innings pitched while adding a career-best 63 strikeouts and a 1.87 ERA. Her numbers didn't drop off at the plate either with a .285 batting average, 39 hits, 15 walks, 19 extra base hits, two home runs, 26 RBI, and 16 doubles. Her play earned her All-TranSouth honors for the second year in a row.

Her career best .329 batting average as a senior was accompanied by three school records. Allen hit 10 home runs, drove in 51 RBIs, and had a total of 25 extra-base hits. She had 48 hits, 14 doubles, 16 walks, 32 runs, and a .470 on-base percentage. In the pitching circle she collected another 10 wins, 55 strike outs, 14 complete games, and a 3.06 ERA.

For her efforts as a senior she was named to the NAIA All-Region XI and All-TranSouth Teams, and in the classroom she earned TranSouth Scholar-Athlete recognition.

Following her senior season Allen had put her name atop eight career-records lists. The four-year player held the career record for home runs (17), RBIs (126), doubles (47), extra base hits (71), pitching wins (41), innings pitched (514), strikeouts (221, and appearances (93).

Allen, now Wendy Allen Apanco, was a significant recruit for the Trojans and was key to turning the program into one of respect in the TranSouth Conference and on the Region level. In her first season, the Trojans posted only their third 20 win (21-29) season in the history of the program. The following year they produced the program's second winning record (26-25) and followed that up with back-to-back 30-win seasons her final two years. The program had never had a team reach the 30-win mark prior to the 2002 season. Allen also helped lead Treveccca Softball to its first NAIA Region XI tournament and the program earned NAIA Top 25 rankings for the first time in school history her final season.
