Senior Anna Vrbenska honored for her efforts in the Oxford community

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In a continuing effort to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field  of competition, the Southeastern Conference is once again highlighting a panel of athletes for its annual Community Service Team. All league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004.  
 
Ole Miss Women's Tennis senior Anna Vrbenska is one of 14 athletes honored on the 2020 squad. 
 
Vrbenska is a member of the Rebels International Committee and has participated in the campus-wide Thanksgiving Adopt-a-Basket event since her freshman year in 2016. She also volunteers with A Hope to Dream, an event that helps provide mattresses and bedroom sets to Mississippi families in need. 
 
A native of Podebrady, Czech Republic, Anna also helps with Trunk or Treat held in late October every year, which provides treats and entertainment for families in the Oxford/Lafayette area in lieu of the typical Halloween door-to-door tradition.
 
On the court, Vrbenska was also a leader. She went 10-2 in the shortened spring season, remaining perfect in SEC play. The senior has suffered just five league losses in her career, and finished 2019 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings with doubles partner and classmate Tereza Janatova
 
She is a two-time Chancellor's Honor Roll selection, three-time SEC Honor Roll member, and was an ITA Scholar Athlete last season.
