College
Freshman year Pejzlová joined a talented Clarkson team that had won the National Championship three years previously and made the NCAA Tournament four straight seasons. She quickly established herself as a key contributor, splitting time between the top two lines. She scored in her first career game against Penn State on 9 September 2016 at 6:01 of the second period. Pejzlová recorded 11 goals and 21 assists as the team's highest-scoring rookie en route to Clarkson's second National Championship. 2016–17 Awards ECAC Rookie of the Week (twice) ECAC Rookie of the Month (October, November) ECAC Weekly Honor Roll (Five Times) Windjammer Classic All-Tournament Team
Sophomore year Pejzlová played the majority of the 2017–18 season centering Loren Gabel and Élizabeth Giguère on Clarkson's top line as well as centering the pair on the top power play unit. Pejzlová put up 26 goals and 29 assists and had a 15-game point streak during the regular season. With the top line leading the way, Clarkson won its second straight National Championship. 2017–2018 Awards ECAC Weekly Honor Roll (twice) Clarkson Athletics Player Profile
Elite leagues Pejzlová played in the Swiss Women's League (PFWL) with Hockey Club Ambrì-Piotta Girls (HCAP Girls) during the 2024–25 and 2025–26 seasons. She was signed to continue with the club for the 2026–27 PFWL season but the team unexpectedly withdrew from the league in late July 2026 and players under contract were left to find new teams on very short notice. Pejzlová and HCAP teammate Julia Liikala soon thereafter signed with Frölunda HC in the Swedish Women's Hockey League for the 2026–26 SDHL season.
International play Pejzlová represented the Czech Republic at the IIHF Women's World Championships in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, and at the Division I Group A tournament in 2015.2016 World Championship roster
