COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina senior Thomas Stoddard has earned a spot on the SEC Men’s Tennis Community Service Team for the second-straight year. Each of the 20 SEC-sponsored sports has a Community Service Team, which looks to highlight a student-athlete from each school who gives back to his or her community.

Stoddard has been active in the community throughout his career. He has worked at the Humane Society auction, gathered donations for the Harvest Hope Food Drive and speaks at various elementary schools. Stoddard has volunteered at the Greek Festival and with the Drew Wellness Center for Youth Sports Program.

The Gamecocks open play at the SEC Tournament today at noon (ET) against eighth-seeded LSU.
