Aulia Earns Second Selection to SEC Community Service Team
April 09, 2026 | Women's Tennis
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tennessee women's tennis senior Catherine Aulia has been named to the 2026 SEC Women's Tennis Community Service Team, as announced Thursday by the league office.
Aulia is the 15th Lady Volunteer—23rd occurrence—to earn this outstanding achievement. She is just the seventh Lady Vol to be selected to multiple SEC Women's Tennis Community Service Teams, having been selected to the 2025 team as well.
As a member of the VOLeaders Academy, Cat traveled to South Africa and Botswana in 2024 where she served alongside numerous non-profit organizations, such as Egoli Youth Development, Panarama Football Club, the Ithembelihle School, Elite Basketball Academy and Women and Sport Botswana. Many of these organizations work to provide access to sport and education for children in low-income areas. She returned to South Africa in 2025 with the TRLE program to serve as a student mentor for the new scholars.
Cat is also involved locally with Girls Inc., the Edge Foundation and Little Smokies, a free tennis clinic series for children in the Knoxville community.
A two-time All-SEC selection, three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll selection and now a two-time SEC Community Service Team honoree, Aulia has accrued a 73-47 singles record and 79-41 doubles record in her four seasons on Rocky Top. She has led the Lady Vols to three NCAA super regionals, two national quarterfinals and one national semifinal appearance in 2024.
As a senior, she has compiled a 15-11 singles record, including two crucial wins to seal victories over Oklahoma State and Texas.
