Career

Stalzer signed her first professional contract with the Puerto Rican club Aguadilla Divas for the 2007 season.[3][4] The Spanish club Valeriano Alles Menorca Volei signed Stalzer for the 2008-2009 season to perform as an outside hitter.[5] After the appointed Brazilian coach Emmanuel Haele was unable to enter to Spain for lacking a work permit and later forced to be replaced because of the time consuming bureaucratic procedures,[6] she was instructed to obtain it to avoid the same situation.[7] Her club won the silver medal in the 2008-2009 Spanish Cup after losing in the final to CAV Murcia 2005.[8] She also helped her club to win the Spanish Superliga third place.[9] After the season spent in Minorca, she played the 2009-2010 season with the Spanish club Cala de Finestrat.[10][11]

For the 2010/11, Stalzer moved to Slovenia to play with Nova KBM Branik Maribor, having a fourth place finish in the Middle European Volleyball Zonal Association League, MEVZA League,[12] she then signed with the Swiss club Sagres Neuchatel,[13] playing with them the 2011-12 CEV Cup, succeeding in the first round against the Serbian Radnički Belgrado but being defeated by the Greek AEK Atene. She returned with Sagres Neuchatel for the 2012-13 season,[14] playing the 2012–13 CEV Cup defeating Irmato Weert from Netherlads, but lost to the Austrian Askö Linz-Steg in the 1/8 finals, as well as a fourth place in the league. The German club Allianz MTV Stuttgart was the home for Stalzer for the 2013-14.[15]

2014-2015

In 2014, Stalzer played in the Philippines for the Cignal HD Spikers in the season ending 2014 PSL Grand Prix Conference.[16] Even though she was awarded 1st Best Outside Spiker, her club only managed to rank fourth.[17]

After her first Philippine experience, Stalzer travelled to Thailand to join 3BB Nakornnont where she helped the club to a Thailand League fourth place finish,[18] and leading the team as captain,[19] a runner-up finish in the 2015 Thai-Denmark Super League.[20] Stalzer went back to the PSL in December of 2015, this time with the Foton Tornadoes helping the club to their first ever championship and was named Most Valuable Player.[21]

2016

Starting 2016, Stalzer played for the Finnish club HPK Naiset[22] where she helped the squad to the championship, beating LP Viesti after a best-of-five series.[23] She then returned to the Philippines with the club Foton Pilipinas for the 2016 Asian Club Championship.[24] A back injury forced Stalzer to miss a couple of important matches against Vietnam and Japan.[25] The team ended the tournament in 7th place.[26] Stalzer later joined Foton Tornadoes in the 2016 PSL Grand Prix Conference, as the time that she was also included in the PSL-F2 Logistics Manila team that will see action in the 2016 FIVB Volleyball Women's Club World Championship.[27]
