Erie Times-News District 10 Breakout Spring Athlete of the Week: Brian Rubin, McDowell

Brian Rubin

Brian Rubin, a senior, has been a mainstay on the McDowell tennis team for several seasons, and this year he has picked up his game even more.

Last week, the Trojans’ No. 1 singles player continued his strong season with a three-set win over Fairview standout R.J. Petrella. Rubin beat Petrella 6-2, 2-6, 6-1 while helping McDowell to a 5-0 non-region win over the Tigers.

Earlier this season, Rubin beat Cathedral Prep’s Alex Brzozowski, the defending District 10 Class AAA champion. Brzozowski avenged that loss this week.

Rubin now will set his sights on the D-10 singles tournament, which opens Saturday.
