AUBURN -- Sierra "CeCe" Sims, an Auburn freshman basketball player who had been missing for most of the day, was found safe Tuesday night, according to the university.

No further details were immediately available. A university statement said: "The Auburn Family is deeply appreciative of all the assistance that has been provided."

The news came five hours after Auburn encouraged anyone who had seen Sims to contact the police. The bulletin was posted on the school's Web site and e-mailed to all students.

WTVM-TV in Columbus, Ga., reported that Sims was last seen at 2:30 a.m. early Tuesday. The station said that she told friends she was going to the library to study. She subsequently missed a basketball practice later Tuesday morning.

A Brentwood, Tenn., native, Sims signed with Auburn last November. The 5-7 point guard led her Brentwood High team to a regional title and also competed in the Miss Teen Tennessee pageant.
