Competition

Entering her senior season at Cal State Fullerton, Patterson has been an integral part of rebuilding the Titan program, winning a regular season championship in 2012 and the Big West Tournament championship as well as making a first round NCAA Tournament appearance in 2013.
The central midfielder and two-time Big West Conference honoree is a key cog in Fullerton’s successful defensive scheme, as the Titans led the Big West in fewest goals allowed and goals against average, en route to their postseason appearance last year – the first for the program since 2007.
In three years, the Titans have posted three straight winning seasons with Patterson playing in 59 of Fullerton’s 62 games, adding three goals to her work in the defensive midfield.
