CHICAGO – Chicago State senior Golda Rubina (Jakarta, Indonesia/Budi Murni) was named Great West Conference Tennis Player of the Week for her efforts in CSU's regular season home finale, the conference announced Friday in a press release. The honor is the first-ever for Rubina and CSU this season.
Rubina, a native of Jakarta, Indonesia, captured the award after helping the Cougars post one of their biggest wins in school history after defeating Big East Conference member West Virginia at home by a score of 5-2 on April 2.
Down 1-0 in her No. 4 singles contest against WVU's Emily Mathis, Rubina rallied in the final two sets to win by scores of 6-3 and 6-1 to capture the win.
