AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn’s Audia Young has been named to the SEC Community Service Team for women’s basketball, it was announced by the conference office today.

Young, a redshirt sophomore from Tallahassee, Florida, has been a leader for the Auburn women's basketball team in community service efforts. Over the last year, she participated in the NAACP Auburn Chapter Friends and Family Day and read to students at Pick Elementary School. She has also been part of Together Opelika, an effort to establish relationships between the Opelika Police Department and the community. 

Along with Auburn's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, she worked with other Auburn student-athletes in a Christmas canned food drive, a kids' toy drive and wildfire relief over the last three months. Audia is also Auburn's representative on the SEC Women's Basketball Leadership Council.

On the court, Young has appeared in 26 games this season, averaging 5.0 points per game. She scored a career-high 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting at LSU on Jan. 5, and she has four games in double-figures this season.

This marks the 27th year for the SEC Community Service Team for women’s basketball as well as for men’s basketball. All league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004, with at-large teams for men’s and women’s sports being chosen from 1999-2003. The SEC began this concept with a football Community Service Team in 1994.
