Rebels Women Complete Roster with Experienced Forward Blazejewski
The Essex Rebels Women have completed their squad for the 2024-25 Super League Basketball Women (SLBW) season with the signing of veteran forward Maria Blazejewski,
Blazejewski, a 6-foot-1 power forward/centre hailing from Northern Michigan, joins the Rebels following a career that has spanned eight countries and three continents. At 33 years old, she brings a unique blend of international experience and adaptability to the Rebels squad.
Maria’s journey has taken her from the Czech Republic to Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, France, and Australia before landing in the UK with the Rebels.
Blazejewski’s most recent stint was with the Cockburn Cougars in Australia’s NBL 1, where she showcased her efficiency, shooting 51.6% from the field while contributing 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in a supporting role. Prior to that, she tasted championship success with Chartres in France, contributing to their promotion-winning campaign – experiences that could prove crucial for the upcoming season.
As the Rebels Women’s team put the final piece in place for their 2024-25 campaign, fans won’t have to wait long to see the team back in action. The Essex Rebels will face Nottingham Wildcats on Saturday, 19 October, at 4pm, followed by the D1 men facing Nottingham Hoods at 6.30pm.
