Silverman, a member of the Penn Athletics Hall of Fame Class XII that will be inducted in May, was committed to her education in the Wharton School (where she received a degree in Economics and Marketing) and her sport-in that order-and nothing else during the season. I don't recall her ever getting angry at a player. I would say it was more leadership by example-just do it, don't give up.
"Because she was one of the star players, she had a lot of responsibility for the team's success. "She was like, 'We can do this, just give me the ball.' She was always a very consistent player. "Gail was very driven, a very good player, and always optimistic about being able to turn a match around," said Sandy Schuchart Chockla, another teammate.

Gail Silberthau Silverman was an important piece in the building of the Penn women's volleyball program in the early 1980s, a young woman focused on her academics and her sport, plus an outstanding outside hitter and three-time All-Ivy player who led the Quakers to the 1983 Ivy League championship. The Penn Athletics Hall of Fame Class XII induction ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 7 at The Inn at Penn. She also was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa and Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Societies. At the 1983-84 Ivy Day she was the University's James Howard Weiss Memorial Award recipient. Overall, Penn went 23-4 in Ivy play during her career including 7-0 her senior season. She was captain of Penn's 1982 team that went 41-9-a program record and still the most wins by a varsity program in a single season-and co-captain of the Quakers' 1983 team that won the Ivy League title. Story Links On Silverman's plaque: She was the first Ivy League Player of the Year in program history, in 1982, and three-time first-team All-Ivy (one of just four players in program history so honored).
