Wildcats add lefty Aissa Silva to roster; early enrollee is 'soaking up knowledge'

Silva was born in Sierra Vista and moved to Tucson as a youngster.

Silva joins a number of other Wildcats on this year’s squad from Tucson or the surrounding area, including fifth-year senior Izzy Pacho; senior transfer Briana Hardy; juniors Carlie Scupin, Allie Skaggs, Devyn Netz and Blaise Biringer; and freshman Logan Cole. Like Netz and Skaggs, Silva moved back for her senior year of high school.

“I like the way she competes,” Lowe continued. “She could have been terrified the first scrimmage day, and both Taryne and I were super impressed that she got on the mound and she just went. I think 'Scoop' was in her first group. She would terrify anybody, and just went right at people. I think her first out was a strikeout, and it was just like, ‘OK.’ Everybody settled in after that.”

“She is a sponge, and I'm sure she has her head spinning a little bit,” Lowe said. “This is her first week of classes in college. This is her first time waking up for weights in the morning and all of those things. Lowe wouldn't reveal who she has in mind for those positions just yet, but it sounds like, at least for the recruiting position, it will be someone homegrown.
