Aimee Silva made her mark in both softball and volleyball during her four years at St. Mary’s. She served as a setter on the volleyball team, earning All-Tournament honors in 1993. She helped lead the Rattlers to 81 wins in four years, including 31 in 1993, the fifth-most wins in a single season for the program. But it was on the softball diamond where she is best remembered.

Silva was named First Team All-American three times as an outfielder. She had a career batting average of .430, including a .438 average as a senior in 1994. She helped the Rattlers to 136 wins in four years and four appearances in the NAIA World Series.

Silva’s strong play at St. Mary’s caught the eye of the United States Softball Committee and in 1993 she was one of 106 softball players around the country to be invited to attend the first National Team tryouts in Oklahoma City. Silva made the first two cuts in the selection process.
