Patten was ranked as high as 118th nationally last season. He finished the regular season a perfect 19-0 at No. 1 singles en route to earning Big South Men's Tennis Player of the Year honors.
Earlier this fall in the oldest fall college tennis tournament in the nation it was Patten that was declared champion.
Patten was actually declared co-champion in the event along with Tim Sandkaulen of Ole Miss. The two were supposed to meet up in the final, but due to the forecasted weather in the area from Hurricane Irma it was decided to declare co-champions.
In being declared co-champion at the prestigious event, Patten bested the second, fifth, 14th and 15th seeds at the Southern Intercollegiate.
Patten advanced to the finals of the Southern Intercollegiate Division I draw against Sandkaulen by downing second-seeded Emil Reinberg of Georgia 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4.
Reinberg finished the 2016-17 season for Georgia as the 51st-ranked player in the country in the final ITA Division I rankings of the season. He is ranked 30th nationally in the preseason rankings.
Patten closed out his impressive 2017 season with a top-15 regional ranking in the Carolina Region Rankings administered by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Patten was ranked 14th in the final Oracle/ITA Division I Rankings – Carolina of the 2017 season.
