Wells attended Montclair High School for all four years of her high school career. She was captain of the Mounties' varsity squad during her junior and senior years. Wells helped the Montclair Mounties win the Essex County Championships in 2007. She was the New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year and the Star Ledger Player of the Year in 2007.
During her first year at Georgetown, Wells scored six goals and dished out 13 assists, tying Georgetown's single-season record for assists.
In 2008, Wells redshirted her sophomore year to play for the United States U-20 women's national soccer team in the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. By the end of the 2009 season, Wells was ranked second all-time in assists (24) for the Hoyas.[2]
Wells led the Hoyas into the 2010 College Cup; Georgetown was knocked out by Ohio State in the quarterfinals. Georgetown head coach Dave Nolan remarked, “I thought Ingrid was tremendous tonight, she was the best player on the field, [but to win] you probably need to have eight or nine of your players show up and have great games, and I don’t think we got that.”[3]
Wells was a member of the United States U-20 women's national soccer team, which won the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Chile. She played in five matches, starting in four which included the final match where the United States defeated North Korea, 2-1.
Currently, Wells is a regular with the United States U-23 women's national soccer team.
