Academy of Art University Athletics

Sophomore guard Alba Rovira Ayuso did it all for Academy of Art women's basketball during the Urban Knights' 1-1 opening week competing in the GNAC/PacWest Conference Challenge hosted by Western Oregon.

The Valencia, Spain native's ART U debut saw her score 15 points (shooting 5-for-10 from the field) with five rebounds, two assists, and one steal against the host Wolves on Nov. 10 then raise most of those totals the following afternoon in Academy of Art's 66-63 victory over Saint Martin's on Nov. 11. Versus SMU, the Advertising major paced the team with 15 points (shooting 7-for-12 from the floor including what would be the game-winning 3-pointer) while grabbing six rebounds, collecting three steals, and adding one assist.

For the week, Rovira Ayuso averaged 17.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 assists all while shooting .545 from the field.
