CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - Eastern Michigan University diving senior Bethany Berger (Batavia, Ohio-Glen Este) has been named the Mid-American Conference Diver of the Week, the league announced today, Feb. 24.
This is the third MAC Diver of the Week accolade for the senior this season, winning in back-to-back weeks, Feb. 3 and 10.
At the UB Diving Invite, Feb. 19-20, Berger finished first in both the preliminary and final rounds of 1-meter diving, recording a score of 307.15 in the prelims and a career-best 310.30 in the finals. The following day on 3-meter, Berger remained competitive, finishing second in both rounds of competition. The senior marked 292.75 in the preliminaries, and followed up with her second career-best performance of the meet with a 329.50 in the final round. The senior native has now won at least one event in each meet she has competed in this season, and her most recent victory marked her seventh of the campaign. Additionally, Berger has exceeded the NCAA Zone C 1-meter standard in each of her outings in 2020-21, and has exceeded the 3-meter standard in her last three consecutive performances.
