Patel's outstanding leadership last week was highlighted by the Rams' impressive performances in the wins against St. Mary's and St. Edward's in San Angelo. In the matchup against the Rattlers, the Rams shot 58.7 percent from the field and 56.7 percent from three, which resulted in 111 points— the highest against a Division II program since 2015.
In the game against the Hilltoppers, Patel guided the Rams to a 69-64 victory when Angelo State hit five crucial free throws in the final two minutes to seal the win over St. Edward’s.
