Bio
Silva came to Cowley from Brazil, where she became a First Team all-conference defender for the Lady Tiger soccer team during the 2023 season before suffering a season-ending injury in the 2024 season-opener. She returned mentally and physically stronger in the 2025 season, serving as a co-captain for the team.
She appeared in all 22 games this season, helping Cowley earn their first KJCCC D1 Women's Soccer regular season title since 2021. Eleven of Cowley's games ended in shutouts this year, with teams averaging 0.67 goals per contest.
Silva was named the Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the Jayhawk Conference for her efforts. She used her strong leg not only to help the Tiger defense but also to score a pair of goals off free kicks. She helped the Lady Tiger soccer team capture conference and regional titles and advance to the national semifinals for the second time in her career, as Cowley finished the 2025 season with a 15-2-4 record. The Tigers went 28-7-8 in her two seasons playing for the team.
Silva also excels in the classroom and will play soccer next season for NCAA Division II Pittsburg State University.
