Senior forward Helena Orts was among the Pacific West Conference rebound leaders for a week that saw ART U women's basketball make its conference debut. On the road for two contests, Orts totaled the second-most rebounds (29) among PacWest players, averaging 14.5 boards plus 11.5 points per game.

Starting the week at No. 17 Azusa Pacific on Nov. 30, Orts crashed the offensive glass, grabbing a career-high-tying 16 rebounds with six of those on the offensive end. Two days later at Dixie State on Dec. 2, the Acting major delivered her first double-double of the year, scoring 22 points with 13 rebounds.

On the year, Orts is averaging 8.3 rebounds per game (seventh in the PacWest) as well as 2.6 steals per game (she had one in each game this past week).
