Paraiso's best pro season was 1998-99,[1] when she was in the finals of all seven events, winning six of them, including the 1998 US Open Racquetball Championships beating Christie Van Hees in three straight games, to finish at #1.
Laura Fenton was Paraiso's partner in 1994, when they beat Vicky Shanks and Debbie Ward of Canada, 15-9, 15-7.
[3] Perhaps the highlights of Paraiso's international career are the gold medals she won playing doubles with her MacKenzie at the 1995 Pan Am Games in Argentina, when they beat Canadians Shanks and Ward, and the 1999 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, where they defeated Ward and Lori-Jane Powell in the final.
The only blemishes have been at the 2003 Pan Am Games, when she and Kim Russell lost 11-9 in the tie-breaker of the finals to the Mexican team of Susana Acosta and Rosy Torres,[5] and at the 2010 World Championships, when she and Ruiz lost to Mexicans Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas also in a tie-breaker, 15-13, 13-15, 11-9.
[7] Three of those titles were with sister Joy (in 1994, 1997 & 1998), five with Aimee Ruiz (2007–2011), three with Kim Russell (2002–2004), two with Michelle Gould (née Gilman) (1990 & 1991), and one with Laura Fenton (2000).
