Francis Marion University women's soccer coach
Chelsea Parker has announced the addition of 5-7 forward-defender Rebeka Bobocka of Bratislava, Slovakia, to the Patriot program for the 2022 season.
Bobocka is a transfer from Southwestern Oklahoma State University where she played three seasons (but will have two years of eligibility at FMU). She appeared in 14 matches over those three years for a program that went 13-7-1 this past fall, won the Great American Conference regular-season title, and earned a berth in the NCAA Division II national tournament.
She is a product of 1st Private Gymnasium Bajkalska.
"We are excited about the athleticism and work ethic Rebeka will bring to the wing position," Parker said. "On top of her Division II experience at Southwestern Oklahoma, she also has international experiences playing for Slovian Prague and Slovian Bratislava. We are also looking forward to the physicality she will bring to the field."
The recent 2021 FMU squad loses six seniors off its roster. Parker previously announced the signing of 5-4 forward Ashlyn Farrar of Clover, S.C.; 5-7 attacking midfielder Izzy Ashley of Kannapolis, N.C.; 5-7 midfielder/defender Abbey Brosnihan and 5-6 midfielder/defender Emma Brosnihan, both of Port St. Lucie, Fla.; 5-0 midfielder Gianna Pavone of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and 5-6 forward Kylie Reif of West Lafayette, Ind.
