Women's tennis adds an impressive standout four-star recruit to the team
CINCINNATI --- Xavier University head tennis coach Doug Matthews announced the signing of Kaitlin Ruether from Rockledge High School in Rockledge, Fla. Ruether, listed as a four-star recruit on Tennisrecruiting.net, has been ranked as high as No. 150 nationally in 2016.
Ruether won the FHSAA Class 2A Girls State title in singles as a freshman and was runner-up as a sophomore. In addition to the nation rankings, Ruether earned rankings of No. 31 in Florida and No. 51 in the Southeast.
"Kaitlin is a great fit for our program," said Matthews. "She has excelled on the tennis court as well as in the classroom. She comes from Florida, which is one of the toughest states in the country. This will help her adjust to the difficulty of the Big East and our non-conference schedule. I am excited to welcome Kaitlin into the Xavier tennis family."
Matthews is still working on completing this women's tennis recruiting class.
