BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Former Florida Tech women’s basketball player Tereza Sedlakova has signed a professional contract with a new team and will be moving to Spain to join A.D. Cortegada.

Cortegada, which is based in Vilagarcía de Arousa in the Province of Pontevedra, Galicia, competes in the Liga Femenina 2 (Spain-LF2), the second division of the Spanish women’s basketball league.

The team is looking forward to adding Sedlakova’s in-and-out game after finishing 4-17 during the 2019-20 campaign.

I am also looking forward to living in Vilagarcía because it is a small town right on the beach similar to Melbourne, which I really miss.

“I hope that together we can build a great and successful team at Cortegada and help each become the best versions of our ourselves. I look forward to the year full of adventures and I can wait to meet everyone in Vilagarcia.”

Cortegada is set to open the 2020-21 season on Oct. 3 with a matchup against Fundacion Ardoi.

In addition to her success on the court, Sedlakova was named the 2018-19 Florida Tech Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and graduated from Tech with a perfect 4.0 GPA as a global business and finance major.
