Oracle/ITA Division I Rankings – Carolina (Click Link to Access)
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville men's tennis sophomore standout Henry 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 is ranked 14th in the final Oracle/ITA Division I Rankings – Carolina of the 2017 season.
Unranked in the region entering the 2017 season, Patten was tabbed 118th nationally in the Oracle/ITA Division I Collegiate Rankings that were released on April 18, 2017.
The national ranking in April came after a stellar regular-season for Patten that saw the sophomore from Manningtree, Essex, U.K. go undefeated at the No. 1 singles position.
Patten's 19-0 record at the conclusion of the regular-season allowed him to become the first in program history to achieve an undefeated regular-season at No. 1 singles. He won every match but one in singles in straight sets during the regular-season.
"This is an incredible achievement for Henry," UNC Asheville men's tennis head coach Tom Hand said at the time of Patten's national ranking. "We knew he had it in him at some point, but for him to be recognized among the best in the country as a sophomore is fantastic. It will only serve as encouragement to see how high he can go in the future."
Throughout the course of the regular-season, Patten managed to earn himself back-to-back Big South Men's Tennis Player of the Week awards for matches played Jan. 23-29 as well as Feb. 27-March 6.
The 2017 Big South Men's Tennis Player of the Year, Patten would overall close out his 2017 campaign at 20-1 at No. 1 singles.
In his two seasons with the Bulldogs, Patten is now 34-4 overall in singles.
A two-time All-Big South selection in both singles and doubles, Patten and senior Josh Swindler finished the 2017 season at 20-1 at No. 1 doubles. The duo concluded their final doubles campaign together having won 16 straight to close out the season.
Patten and Swindler in their two years together as a duo were 34-4.
