COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Volleyball senior MB Alyssa Munlyn was named to the 2018 Southeastern Conference Volleyball Community Service Team, announced Wednesday by the league office.

"We're very proud of all that Alyssa has done outside of the gym to make a difference in people's lives," Mizzou Volleyball head coach Wayne Kreklow said. "There's a tremendous demand on student-athletes' time, so it takes a special person to still get out and help others. Alyssa is going to be a very successful person in life and we are so proud to be able to call her a Mizzou Tiger!"

This past May, she visited the country of Haiti with nine other Mizzou student-athletes for the "Soles4Souls" program, which creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world.

Local Mid-Missouri groups Munlyn has volunteered for over her Mizzou tenure have included the Show Me State Games, Mizzou Volleyball Black & Gold Youth Clinic, Mizzou Volleyball Open House, Special Olympics, Reading Buddy at Columbia Elementary Schools, Caleb's Pitch, Mizzou Volleyball Youth League and visits to University of Missouri hospitals.
