Audrey Bordeleau honored by SEC; Lady'Backs ready for LSU in SEC Tournament

AUBURN, Ala. – Senior Audrey Bordeleau’s part in the community earned the Lady Razorback a spot on the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team named Thursday.

Bordeleau, the native of Quebec City, Canada, participated in various activities throughout the Fayetteville community. She carved pumpkins at a local elderly home, served Thanksgiving meals at a homeless shelter and assisted in building homes with Habitat for Humanity. She is also very active in SWEAT HAWGS, a program in which student-athletes promote physical education to local elementary schools, and canned food drives.

“Audrey [Bordeleau] has developed her career as a true leader the past two seasons,” said Arkansas head coach Michael Hegarty. “The great thing about her being a leader on our team is that she does it on and off the court.”
