Senior Midfielder Recognized for Work in the Community

OXFORD, Miss. – The Southeastern Conference announced its 2018 Community Service Team on Tuesday, with Rebel midfielder Marisa Kutchma among the 14 players recognized by the league.

Each year, 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 their community in superior service efforts.

See below for Kutchma's contribution to the community over her four-year career as a Rebel.

Marisa Kutchma
A Saint Charles, Missouri native, Kutchma has established her role as a mentor in the Lafayette County community. This year, she partnered with a local rec soccer league through the Oxford Park Commission to help give guidance to youth in the area. She attended their games every week and gave guidance and support as they proceeded through their season. She also has spent time mentoring and tutoring with the Boys and Girls Club of Oxford. Kutchma has also used her voice to empower and encourage young women through the National Girls and Women in Sports Day. She uses these experiences to foster character and develop self‐esteem for the youth who cross her path. Kutchma's community impact has extended far past the Oxford area. A future medical student with a passion for developing global health, over the past four years she has volunteered over 250 hours at Mercy Hospital and Barnes‐Jewish Hospital in Saint Louis. This summer, the Rebel midfielder spent two weeks on a mission trip in Cusco, Peru, educating children and parents on standard health practices. Additionally, from 2011‐15 Kutchma donated time annually to the New Life Evangelistic Center in Saint Louis, helping to feed and provide shelter to local homeless people.
