At the 2013 CIS national women's ice hockey championships, Allemoz would score the Carabins’ second goal of the gold medal game against goaltender Amanda Tapp, an eventual 3–2 final against the Calgary Dinos.[4]

During the 2014–15 season, Allemoz was one of three members of the French national team competing for the program. She was joined by Lore Baudrit and Emmanuelle Passard. Heading into the 2015–16 season, Allemoz was bestowed the honor of the Carabins’ team captaincy.[5] By season's end, the Carabins would capture their second national title in program history, as Allemoz earned an assist in the gold medal game,[6] an 8–0 final against the UBC Thunderbirds.[7]

Allemoz made her senior debut for the French national team at the 2007 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I.
