Sanchez Signs to Play Professionally for Córdoba Femenino

MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Just weeks after graduating from Alabama State, goalkeeper Sheila Sanchez signed with Córdoba CF Femenino to play professionally in Spain's Liga Feminino. 

The Castellon, Spain native competed in 32 matches for the Lady Hornets across her two-year stint with Alabama State. Sanchez finished with 194 total saves, with 104 coming during the 2022 season. She registered 11 career shutouts including a career-high 20-save shutout against UAB in 2021.

Sanchez was also named SWAC preseason goalkeeper of the year prior to the 2022 season.

"I'm really excited for Sheila, having an opportunity to play professionally was a big goal for her, and she worked hard to achieve it! She was definitely an impact player for us, setting numerous single-season and career records," said Alabama State head coach Jodie Smith.

Córdoba Femenino is based out of Córdoba, Spain and led by head coach Alfonso Mesa.
