Kentucky junior Darian Mack was named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team, the league announced on Wednesday. The SEC sponsors Community Service Teams for all 21 league sponsored sports. The team looks to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to her community in superior service efforts.
Mack is involved in several different community service initiatives. She has served as a walk-a-child to school volunteer and worked extensively in the Ronald McDonald house. Mack has also spent many days at local elementary schools, talking to kids about the importance of eating healthy, helping kids make snacks and giving volleyball lessons. She has also spent time bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and has made blankets for Kentucky Children’s Hospital patients. Furthermore, she is a mainstay as a counselor for the highly-popular Kentucky volleyball camps.
On the floor, Mack is averaging 2.61 kills per set this season. She earned a season-high 13 kills in the match against Missouri, and has hit 10 or more terminations eight times this season.
Kentucky will return to action for the NCAA Tournament on Friday. The Wildcats will head to Seattle to face Colorado State in the first round. First serve is set for 8 p.m. ET and can be watched live on GoHuskies.com.
