In winning the title at the ITA Carolina Regional, Patten bested players from Elon, NC State, UNCW, Coastal Carolina and Clemson.
The ITA Carolina Regional championship was the second title of the fall for Patten. 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.
