ALY HAZELWOOD OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a senior from Baytown, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Character & Community Female Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the week ending September 27, 2009.

Hazelwood organized two on-campus events - the Dig for the Cure with TUVAC as well as the Dig Pink event this past season - both to benefit the Komen Race for the Cure. She was on the planning committee for Komen Race for the Cure and plans on doing it again this year. 

Hazelwood is now the Community Service Chair for SAAC, which hopes to partner with Habitat for Humanity as its service project this year.

This past summer Hazelwood was an unpaid intern for the Houston Department of Health and Human Services and helped organize media for both the Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care and a children's healthcare project called Kids Village.

In addition to her dominating play on the volleyball court - the senior middle blocker was SCAC Player-of-the-Week in Week 3 - Hazelwood has been an outstanding role model for her teammates and all students at Trinity University with her copious amounts of involvement in the community and her outstanding work in the classroom.
