GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The University of Florida women's tennis team continues to bring the nation's top student-athletes to the Ring Tennis Complex. The reigning SEC Champions got better on Thursday with the addition of Ingrid Neel, the nation's top-ranked recruit in the Class of 2015, according to tennisrecruiting.net.
Neel completed her National Letter of Intent during the fall signing period on Thursday. The newest addition to the Gator tennis family boasts a lengthy resume of success and will bring an impressive work ethic from the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. to Gainesville.

“We are extremely excited to sign Ingrid. She is a highly skilled player that will have an impact for the Gators immediately. Ingrid's personality is second to none; she is the type of person who connects with everyone and will fit in great. Her game is versatile and will prove to be an asset to the Gators.
