This is Rubin's second weekly conference award earned this season
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - Eastern Michigan University senior gymnast, Lacey Rubin (Plainview, N.Y.-Plainview Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy), earned Mid-American Conference Specialist of the Week honors for the period ending Jan. 28. She earned this achievement for her outstanding performance during the Michigan State Quad, Jan. 27. This is Rubin's second weekly conference award earned this season.
Rubin was a vital piece in EMU's best performance of the season at the MSU quad. The Plainview, N.Y.-native started her day on bars where she notched a season-best 9.825, which served as a team-high and the third-best score overall in the event. She then went on to earn a score of 9.85 with her routine on beam, which earned a share of the event title in addition to helping the beam squad tally its best team score of 2018 with a 48.925. Eastern ended the quad with a season-high team score of 194.950, topping both Rutgers and Pittsburgh for the Eagles' first wins of the season.
Rubin and the Eagles continue competition Friday, Feb. 2, as they play host to the Flames of the University of Illinois-Chicago as the first of three straight home duals. Friday also serves as the annual Beauty and the Beast meet, which allows fans to watch both the gymnastics and wrestling teams compete in the same arena simultaneously. Action is slated to begin at 7 p.m. with wrestling squaring off against the University at Buffalo.
