Three days later against Portugal, Alozie scored her first international goal for the Super Falcons.
Alozie joined the Dash during the 2021 preseason and signed as a National Team Replacement Player in July. She finished with four appearances during the 2021 regular season.

In college, Alozie played three years at Yale and transferred to Tennessee as a graduate student in 2019.
