Kinsey Goelz, a graduate-senior, earned her spot on the SEC Community Service Team for the second-consecutive season.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Kinsey Goelz of the Florida softball team was announced to the 2023 Southeastern Conference Community Service Team by the league office Tuesday afternoon. The SEC has selected one student-athlete from each school to a Community Service Team for every SEC-sponsored sport since 2004.
Goelz, a graduate-senior, makes her second consecutive appearance on the SEC Community Service Team as she was honored with the award last season. Last year the Myakka City, Fla. native accumulated 25 ½ hours of community service the last academic year, but this year she surpassed that mark and volunteered 90 hours this academic year.
Through the Goodwill Gator Volunteerism program, Goelz has served the greater Gainesville community and has touched numerous lives along the way. This year, she has participated in reading and mentoring programs at numerous elementary schools, and visited children at Shands Hospital who needed an uplifting presence.
Around the community, Goelz participated in voter registration drives, served dinner to those who have no home to go to, aided in canned food drives and volunteered with Gator Tracks. She was recognized this year with the Gators Experience Athlete of the Year Award, which is given to the female student-athlete with the most engagement with the Gators Experience program in community service, leadership and career programming
Goelz and the Gators are set to compete in the 2023 SEC Softball Tournament against No. 9-seed Kentucky at Bogle Park in Fayetteville, Ark. this Wednesday, May 10, approximately 35 minutes following the conclusion of the prior game between No. 5-seed Alabama and the winner of No.12-seed Mississippi State and No. 13-seed Missouri, which is slated for a 5 p.m. (ET) start.
