Hannah Hidalgo added to another key award watch list

Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo is being watched for a prestigious award.

Notre Dame sophomore guard [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] is on the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Wade Watch List. She’s among 15 players being watched as a potential winner of the oldest, most prestigious player of the year award.

She was a Region I finalist for the 10-member WBCA Division I Coaches All-American team last season. Hidalgo is averaging 23.5 points per game, 8 rebounds per game, and 6 steals per games through two games so far this season.

She had 28 points against the Purdue Boilermakers on Sunday, which lead the Fighting Irish in scoring during their victory.

Hidalgo has already been named an AP Preseason All-American and the Preseason ACC Player of the Year.

If Hidalgo keeps it up, her trophy case could look mighty full when it’s all said and done.
