Auburn Soccer's Alyse Scott has been named to the 2016 SEC Community Service Team, the conference office announced last Friday.
The Community Service Team highlights an athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior community service efforts. The senior goalkeeper has landed on the annual team for the third time in her career.
Scott has spent hours in the Auburn community volunteering at Campus Kitchens, Habitat for Humanity and the United Way during her tenure with the Tigers. Scott believes it was an experience in the public school system on the south side of Chicago with Camp iCare that sparked her to think big.
The Marietta, GA. natives ability to connect with people, especially children, has served as the driving force to her being able to show campers how much they could accomplish in life. Her work with Camp iCare bridged a gap that brought students from Schmid Elementary in Chicago to Auburn for a weekend, where the students experienced Auburn and were introduced at a football game.
Scott's dream is to open a non-profit agency to help youth who age out of children’s homes or the foster care system.
Scott is one of only three players in conference history to be named to the Community Service Team, joining Kelsey Fenix of Kentucky (2005-07) and Ashley Baker of Georgia (2010-12).
