Selimovic Signs With Pro Team in Philippines

LITTLE ROCK – Former Little Rock volleyball standout Edina Selimovic has signed a professional contract to play for the Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors in Manila, Philippines.
 
Selimovic's new team is a member of the Premier Volleyball League and won back-to-back championships last year.  
 
"I'm really excited and thankful for this opportunity," Selimovic said. "I think this is a great start for me. Since I love to travel and love the sun, I think this is a great place for me. I'm also surrounded by so many nice and chill people. I'm already loving it and can't wait to play."
 
Selimovic earned numerous awards as a Trojan including All-Sun Belt First Team honors during the 2014-16 seasons. She joined former Trojan greats Edina Begic and Tanja Radovic as the only Trojans in program history with three All-Sun Belt First Team honors. In 2015, Selimovic was named to the AVCA Southwest All-Region Team. Over the course of her three years in Little Rock, she earned Sun Belt Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors five times.
 
Selimovic is one of two imports allowed on the Pocari Sweat Lady Warriors' roster for the upcoming Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference season which begins on April 30.
