Wells PattenHead Coach, 14th Season

The 2010 season marks the 14th year for Wells Patten as The College of St. Scholastica’s head men’s and women’s tennis coach.

Patten and the Saints men competed in the NAIA Regional Tournament each of Patten’s first ten years with the team, taking first in 2001 and being tournament runners-up six of the remaining nine years. While the team has yet to make a splash in the NCAA Div.-III Tournament like its female counterparts, they look to change that this season.

Under Patten’s direction, the Saints men’s tennis team has won 13 Upper Midwest Athletic Conference regular season titles and has earned 10 UMAC postseason championships. In addition, the team has compiled a record of 64-4 against UMAC opponents for a .941 overall winning percentage in conference play. In the last two seasons, Patten produced 10 UMAC All-Conference athletes including two-time Player of the Year, Dillon Sterle. Patten is a nine-time recipient of the UMAC Coach of the Year honor and claimed the title for five consecutive seasons prior to 2008. A 1989 graduate of the University of Minn.-Duluth, Patten was a three-time singles and doubles champion in the NSIC conference while playing tennis for the Bulldogs. He also participated in two NAIA national tournaments in Kansas City, Mo.

Patten was the head women’s tennis coach at the University of Minn.-Duluth from 1990-1994, leading them to their first NSIC Championship. Patten is also involved in USTA league play throughout Minnesota as a state rater. In 1996, he received his USTA P1 Level as a professional tennis instructor, the highest level obtainable.

A Duluth, Minn., native, Patten earned his M.A. in Athletic Administration from Idaho State University in 1995. He currently resides in Duluth with his wife Gretchen; they have two children, Reece (7) and Dane (5).

Assistant coach Pat Greehan returns for his fourth year with the Saints. He moved to Duluth from Houston, Texas where he taught social studies and coached tennis at Memorial High School.Greehan graduated from Assumption (Mass.) College in 1997, where he played on the men’s tennis team. He continued his education at Northeastern (Mass.) University to earn his M.A. in political science in 2001.Coach Greehan currently works in the Duluth Public School system and will be working with the juniors program at Longview Tennis Club in Duluth.

Third-year assistant Colby Carlson, from Los Gatos, Calif., graduated from Carleton (Minn.) College in 1997 with a B.A. in Political Science. He moved on after graduation to Western Illinois University where he earned his M.A. in Sports Management in 1999. While at WIU Carlson played 6-singles and 3-doubles for the Leathernecks.After earning his Master’s degree he worked in the Athletic Department at Carleton from 1999-2000. He served as the men’s tennis coach before joining the tennis professional staff at White Bear Racquet and Swim in 2000 where he worked until 2005. During that span, he was also the assistant head tennis pro at White Bear Yacht Club during the summer months.Colby, his wife Amy, and son Luke then moved to Duluth in 2007 where he took over as the Girls’ head tennis coach at The Marshall School.
