2018 Spring Schedule

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville men's tennis team will play host to 12 matches this spring at the Asheville Racquet Club Downtown.

The 12 homes matches even includes Clemson of the ACC visiting the Asheville Racquet Club Downtown at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21.

UNC Asheville junior standout and current nationally 43rd-ranked Henry Patten earlier this fall picked up the ITA Carolinas Region title by downing Clemson players in the semifinals and finals.

In the ITA Carolinas Region finals, the regionally eighth-seeded Patten bested 15th-seeded Alex Favrot of Clemson, 6-3, 6-1. Favrot played mainly at No. 1 singles last year for the Tigers, ending the regular season 16-9.

The regionally eighth-seeded Patten advanced to the ITA Carolinas Regional final by besting 25th-seeded Simon Baudry of Clemson in the semifinals, 6-4, 6-2.

The Bulldogs open their 2018 spring schedule at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 20, by playing host to Mars Hill. One day later, the Bulldogs will host Lenoir-Rhyne at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 21.

UNC Asheville will open its 2018 Big South Conference schedule at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25, at Radford. The first home league match of the year for the Bulldogs will be at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 4, against Winthrop.

Patten won two individual titles during the fall of 2017, but he was just one part of a strong fall for the Bulldogs overall with UNC Asheville putting together strong team performances at the USC Upstate Fall Invitational, the Elon Fall Invitational, the Davidson Invite, the Spartan Fall Invitational and the Wake Forest Invitational.
