ADA — Ohio Northern senior Megan Lubinski (Loveland/Brighton) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Swimmer of the Week for the week of Oct. 18-24.

Lubinski led the Polar Bears to a 202-59 win over OAC foe Wilmington on Friday and was Northern's top swimmer in a tri-meet at NCAA Division II Hillsdale (Mich.) with Hope (Mich.) on Saturday.

On Friday, Lubinski won the 50-meter free in :27.82 and the 400-meter free in 4:51.79 as the Polar Bears won 13 of the 14 events at the meet.

Lubinski was also part of the top-placing 200-meter medley and 200-meter free relay teams that finished in 2:09.06 and 1:59.47, respectively.

On Saturday, Lubinski tallied second-place finishes in the 50-yard free in :25.60, the 100-yard free in :55.86 and the 200-yard free in 2:01.40 to lead ONU in the tri-meet.

This marks Lubinski's third OAC Swimmer of the Week accolade in her career, as she also earned the honor once in each of her freshman and junior seasons.

The Polar Bears return to the pool on Saturday for their home opener against OAC foe John Carroll at 1 p.m.
