Career

Stalzer signed her first professional contract with the Puerto Rican club Aguadilla Divas for the 2007 season.[4][5] The Spanish club Valeriano Alles Menorca Volei signed Stalzer for the 2008–2009 season to perform as an outside hitter.[6] 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,[7] she was instructed to obtain it to avoid the same situation.[8] Her club won the silver medal in the 2008-2009 Spanish Cup after losing in the final to CAV Murcia 2005.[9] She also helped her club to win the Spanish Superliga third place.[10] After the season spent in Menorca, she played the 2009–2010 season with the Spanish club Cala de Finestrat.[11][12]

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,[13] she then signed with the Swiss club Sagres Neuchatel,[14] 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,[15] playing the 2012–13 CEV Cup defeating Irmato Weert from Netherlands, 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.[16]

In 2014, Stalzer played in the Philippines for the Cignal HD Spikers in the season ending 2014 PSL Grand Prix Conference.[17] Even though she was awarded 1st Best Outside Spiker, her club only managed to rank fourth.[18]

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,[19] and leading the team as captain,[20] a runner-up finish in the 2015 Thai-Denmark Super League.[21] Stalzer went back to the PSL in December 2015, this time with the Foton Tornadoes helping the club to their first ever championship and was named Most Valuable Player.[22]
