After a break due to her pregnancy, she celebrated her comeback in February 2005 at the regional division Eintracht Oberlübbe . At the end of the season - the fourth place in the table was reached - the club withdrew the team from the Regionalliga West. The right-hander then joined HSG Stemmer / Friedewalde , a syndicate that plays its home games in the north of Minden . With the HSG, where she is also used on the center backcourt and in the left backcourt, she was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga North in 2006 and 2008 . In the 2008/09 season she was top scorer in the 2nd Bundesliga with 215 goals (95 seven meters) in 22 games. In the following season she was second in the scorer statistics. After the relegation of Stemmer / Friedewalte Zierke played in the 3rd League East .

On November 4, 1996, the sports information service (sid) judged her performance at the subsequent Netcom Cup in Norway , where the DHB selection took fourth place out of six participants: “... After all, left wing Anika Schafferus from Minden showed a strong performance and indicated that the persistent problems of the last few years could be solved in this position on sight. At least this little ray of hope remained as a positive finding from the Netcom Cup for national coach Ekke Hoffmann . "

She played her last international match on March 30, 2003 at the Weise-Cup in Neubrandenburg against France (23:27). She made a total of 105 international matches for Germany.
