Foley, native of Dublin, Ireland, was a member of Irelands junior national team and was ranked #1 nationally in junior doubles in high school.

Illinois State head coach Greg Kennett is excited about the newest additions to the team.
These two players are very mature, and will add depth to our lineup, said Kennett.
