Cousins Named To SEC Community Service Team
October 29, 2019 | Soccer
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Tennessee redshirt senior midfielder Katie Cousins has been named to the 2019 SEC Community Service Team, the league office announced Tuesday. The Community Service Team looks to highlight an athlete from each respective institution who gives back to their community in superior service efforts.
A native of Forest, Va., Cousins has been an active community servant during her five years at Tennessee, working with local organizations such as the Emerald Youth Foundation, Kicks for Kids, Goals for Girls and the Race Against Alzheimer's. She has logged more than 130 hours of community service since the summer of 2015.
Cousins also served as a member of the innovative VOLeaders Academy in 2017-18. The organization uses student-athletes' platforms in sport to positively impact their teams, campuses, and local and global communities. The year-long campaign culminated with a trip to Ecuador, where the VOLeaders completed service projects and interacted with youth through sports and games.
Cousins was one of 30 NCAA Division I women's soccer players to be named a candidate for the Senior CLASS Award earlier this semester. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as a senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
A two-time All-American and three-time All-SEC performer for the Vols, Cousins' academic accolades are equally as impressive. She has been named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll four times in her career along with three mentions on the university's Dean's List (Spring 2017, Spring 2018, Fall 2018).
Cousins and five other seniors will be honored prior to Thursday night's match against Arkansas. Kickoff for the regular-season finale is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Regal Soccer Stadium.
