Utah Valley Wolverines
Upon arriving to Utah Valley University in 2023, Hladek became an immediate starter for the Wolverines. Over the next three seasons, she started in all 60 of Utah Valley's matches, earned three consecutive WAC All-Tournament honors, and contributed to three straight Western Athletic Conference (WAC) titles.[2][5] In her first year as a Wolverine, she recorded 4 goals and a team-leading 9 assists. In the semifinals of the WAC tournament, she netted Utah Valley's lone goal in a semifinal defeat to Grand Canyon. The following season, she earned spots on the All-WAC first team and All-Region second teams. She scored 5 goals, one of which was in a postseason knockout fixture against California Baptist on November 6, 2024.[2]
In the offseason before her final year of college, Hladek played for pre-professional club Utah United in the team's inaugural season as a member of the USL W League.[6] By the penultimate match of the season, she had scored 6 goals in 12 matches despite only starting in half of her appearances.[7] In the 2025 USL W League championship match, Hladek scored a goal as Utah United beat the North Carolina Courage U23, 4–0, to secure the title.[8]
In 2025, Hladek concluded her collegiate career with a bang, setting career highs with 22 appearances, 15 goals, and a conference-leading 13 assists.[2][9] She had two multi-goal games,[2] including a 5–3 victory over Gonzaga on September 9 in which she registered two goals and an assist.[10] She earned multiple accolades at the end of the season, including first-team All-WAC, first-team All-Region, and WAC Offensive Player of the Year.[11] She departed from Utah Valley having set the program record in career assists, with a total of 32.[5]
