ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville men's tennis standout Henry Patten continued his rise in the national rankings in the latest Oracle/ITA NCAA Division I Collegiate Rankings that were unveiled on Wednesday, Feb. 7.
Patten is ranked a program-best 32nd in the latest national rankings.
The national singles ranking puts him among the very elite in Big South Conference history. Only Radford's Martin Sayer has been ranked higher. Sayer ended his 2006 season ranked No. 31.
This past weekend, Patten downed 28th-ranked Eduardo Mena of Tennessee Tech 7-5, 7-6 at No. 1 singles. In a battle between the reigning Big South and OVC Players of the Year it was Patten who secured his second straight win over Mena. Last season on Feb. 11, 2017, at the Asheville Racquet Club Downtown, Patten garnered a 6-1, 7-6 win over Mena.
Patten's victory over Mena marked his third win in 2017-18 against top-30 ranked foes.
In November, Patten downed No. 25 Daniel Valent of Vanderbilt in straight sets 7-5, 6-4, at the 2017 Oracle ITA National Fall Championships at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa. Patten also collected a win over Emil Reinberg of Georgia 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4 at the Southern Intercollegiate Championships.
