BULLDOG BITES

IMPRESSIVE PATTEN: 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 Feb. 27-March 6. Patten topped the No. 102 ranked singles player at the time, Scott Webster of Appalachian State, earlier this season. Patten also defeated the No. 66 ranked singles player at the time, Eduardo Mena of Tennessee Tech. The native of the U.K. is now 16-0 in singles play on the year, winning every match but one in straight sets.
Â
STREAKING TO SUCCESS: The No. 1 duo of Henry Patten and Josh Swindler have been phenomenal this season. After Sunday's victory, the top pairing improved to 15-1 on the year and are currently riding an 11-match winning streak.
SCOUTING WINTHROP: The Eagles have struggled this season, sitting sixth in the conference standings. Winthrop holds a 1-9 record and has yet to win a home match.
