OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss women's tennis team continues to add to the future with one of the top junior players in Holland, Iris Verboven, signing a national letter of intent to join the program beginning in the fall of 2011, head coach Mark Beyers announced Friday.
Verboven reached the finals of the National under-18 championships twice and reached the Round of 16 at the National Senior Championships twice. She has been ranked as high as No. 29 in singles and No. 8 in doubles in the Dutch Women's Rankings.
"We are extremely excited to have Iris join our program in August," Beyers said. "She is a very accomplished player who will make an immediate impact in our singles and doubles lineup."
The Rebels earned their third straight and 14th overall NCAA appearance and will travel to Atlanta, Ga., for the first and second rounds. They face Arizona State in the first round Saturday, May 14 at 8 a.m. CT.
