Samantha daSilva '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Samantha da Silva and I am a 2026 graduate from Hudson New Hampshire.  I currently play D1 high school soccer for Alvirne High School as well as club soccer for FC Stars. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old, and have always had a love for the sport.  At 17, my love for soccer is more than just a hobby, its a defining part of who I am. Beyond the thrill of goals and well executed passes, soccer has become a way of expressing myself and a space where I can grow. Looking ahead, my dream is to keep playing soccer in college, bringing my skills and love for the game to a college team. The idea of representing a college on the soccer field gets me very excited. It pushes me to do well in school while still giving my all to the game I love. Through soccer, I've learned how to balance things, manage my time and set goals. As I deal with high school challenges, I'm making sure to keep my grades up and stay committed to soccer. I'm hoping to find a college where I can mix my studies with my love for soccer, making my time there a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.
