BULLDOG BITES
PATTEN PEAKING: Sophomore Henry Patten has started the season with some very impressive performances, earning himself the Big South Men's Tennis Player of the Week for matches played Jan. 23-29. Last time out Patten defeated the No. 102 ranked singles player, Scott Webster of Appalachian State, and is now 6-0 in singles play on the year, winning every match in straight sets. Alongside Swindler, the No. 1 doubles pairing is 5-1 on the season.Â
CLEAN SWEEPS: Today's sweep over King University is now the fourth on the season for Asheville. The Bulldogs pulled off three consecutive 7-0 sweeps to begin the campaign. Asheville now has swept King University, Mount Olive, Lenoir-Rhyne and Mars Hill this season.
UP NEXT: UNC Asheville will host Tennessee Tech at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11, at the Asheville Racquet Club.Â
