ATHENS, Ga. --- The University of Georgia men’s tennis team will add Atlanta native Ignacio Taboada to the roster for the upcoming fall season, head coach Manuel Diaz announced Friday.

Taboada, who will compete this fall with two years of eligibility remaining, played his freshman and sophomore seasons at the University of Miami. He went 13-7 as a sophomore for the Hurricanes in 2009-10, including 4-2 at No. 5 and 6-3 at No. 6 during the dual match season. In doubles he played primarily at No. 3 where he went 6-2 with partner Carl Sundberg.

During his freshman season Taboada was the first Hurricane to post 20 wins in a season since 2003-04 and just the 21st in Miami men’s tennis history, finishing the 2008-09 campaign with a mark of 23-12. He competed at all positions between Nos. 2 and 6.

Taboada is one of six new additions to the Bulldogs for the fall of 2010 and is currently competing in the ITA Summer Curcuit on the Georgia campus.
