Bio

Following a decorated career in crimson and grey, Nathalia Maria da Silva '19 enters her second season as the graduate assistant with the Franklin Pierce University women's soccer team in 2024. It's a return to Rindge for da Silva, who served as a volunteer assistant coach in the fall of 2019. 

For da Silva, the transition to the sideline comes after an award-filled, four-year career on the field with the Ravens. She capped her career with an All-America Second Team selection from the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association in 2018, following a campaign where she tallied 34 points on 15 goals and four assists. In her senior year, da Silva was also a consensus All-East Region First Team selection, an All-Northeast-10 Conference First Team selection and the NE10 Championship Most Valuable Player, as the Ravens claimed their record-setting eighth league title.

In all, da Silva was a four-time All-NE10 selection in a Franklin Pierce uniform, as she also earned First Team accolades as a junior, to go with Second Team honors in both her freshman and sophomore campaigns. She earned All-East Region Second Team recognition as a junior, and was named to the NE10 All-Rookie Team as a freshman. In the program's record books, da Silva finished her career ranked 12th all-time in goals (36) and tied for 15th in points (88).

A 2019 graduate of the University, da Silva originally hails from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
