NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion women's golfer Katerina Vlasinova will represent her home country of Czech Republic in the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taipei August 19-30.
The Universiade is an international multi-sport event, organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The name for the world university games, “Universiade”, is derived from the words “University” and “Olympiade”. The Universiade is the largest multi-sport event in the world apart from the Olympic Games.
Vlasinova, a rising senior from Trebic, Czech Republic, is a three-time All-Conference USA selection. This past season, she was named First Team All-C-USA after helping lead the Monarchs to their first conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in program history.
