Jan. 6, 2017 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Senior goalkeeper Alyse Scott has been named to the 2016 SEC Community Service Team, announced by the conference office.
The Community Service Team looks to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts. Scott has landed on the annual team for the third time in her career, adding to her 2013 and 2015 laurels.
Spending countless hours in the community volunteering at Campus Kitchens, Habitat for Humanity and the United Way during her tenure with the Tigers, it was an experience in the public school system on the south side of Chicago with Camp iCare that sparked Scott to think big.
Serving children was Scott's calling, and staying true to the Auburn Creed of "I believe in work, hard work" drove her to become even more involved with non-profit organization.
Scott's natural ability to connect with others 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 down to The Plains for an experience of a lifetime, which saw them introduced at the season-opening 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.
The Marietta, Ga. native 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).
