Senior (2010):

Rubin was named an honorable mention to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) team for the second-straight season in 2010.  She was a key contributor to an Emory defense that recorded a 0.56 goals-against average, the 23rd-lowest mark among NCAA Division III teams during the year. Opponents averaged just 4.1 shots on goal per game against the Eagles' defense, including 11 games of three shots on goal or less.  Rubin added three goals off penalty kicks and two assists during the season as well.  Two of her three goals were game-winning scores, coming against Rhodes College on September 19th and Maryville College on September 26th.  She also assisted on the game-winning goal during the Eagles' season-opening double-overtime win against Lee University, then ranked first in the NAIA.  Rubin played in 17 games for Emory, making 16 starts.  Despite battling injury late in the year, she was able to convert a key penalty kick during the shootout of the Eagles' 1-1 tie with Wheaton College (Ill.) in the NCAA Tournament round of 16, allowing Emory to advance to the quarterfinals.  For her efforts on the field and in the classroom, Rubin was named to the CoSIDA Academic all-America Third Team and Academic all-District First Team.  She ended her Emory career with six goals and two assists for 14 points over 54 games played.

Junior (2009):

Rubin played in 16 games for the Emory defense in 2009, making 15 starts and earning an honorable mention to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) team.  The junior scored three goals during the season, the first three of her Emory career, totaling six points.  Rubin's first career goal came on September 5th during the Eagles' 1-1 tie with Maryville College.  She also scored goals against Millsaps College on September 13th and Guilford College on September 26th.  She totaled six shots during the season, four of which were on goal.  Rubin also served as the captain of the Emory defense, which recorded a 1.14 goals against average while helping the Eagles hold a 168-93 edge in shots on goal.  Rubin was also named to the ESPN the Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic all-District first team for her work both on the field and in the classroom

Sophomore (2008):

During her first year with Emory, Rubin was one of the leaders of the Eagles' defensive backfield.  She started all 21 Emory games during the season, one of just four Eagles to do so.  She helped lead an Emory backfield that allowed the Eagles outshoot opponents 375-135, and held opposing teams to a .0553 goals-against average, the 23rd-lowest in Division III.  Offensively, Rubin took three shots during the season.
