Sports blog information from USA TODAY.
History was made again this past weekend.
Caitlin Clark has reached the scoring mountaintop in college basketball. She passed Pete Maravich’s college scoring total and now is the all-time leader for either men or women. Here’s how far she ranks ahead of the other top 10 scorers in women’s basketball as well as their steals numbers in comparison to national leader [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag]:
Hannah continues to hold serve at third.
For one of the few times all season this past week, an opponent was able to solve Notre Dame’s [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag]. NC State held the freshman phenom to a season-low 10 points.
It’s ironic that Hidalgo had her worst game when Iowa’s Caitlin Clark had her best game in which she not only broke the NCAA women’s scoring record but poured in a career-high 49 points. Alas, basketball is a funny game.
Here are the top 10 scorers in women’s basketball along with their steals numbers:
History is about to be made in women’s hoops.
Iowa’s Caitlin Clark needs only eight points to break the all-time NCAA women’s scoring record. That means this coming week will be historic. But let’s see how she stacks up with [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] of Notre Dame. We also
Notre Dame’s freshman phenom still is pretty good.
[autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] continues to impressive with each passing game. The Notre Dame freshman scored a career-high 35 points over the past week. Who knows what she’ll be up to next? She ranks among the national scoring leaders as follows, and we’ve included their steals numbers, too:
A certain star for Notre Dame continues to draw attention.
For the first time in her collegiate career, Notre Dame’s [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] was held without a steal against UConn. The tradeoff was she scored a career-high 34 points, which also is the Irish freshman record. Here’s what that means as far as her ranking among the national scoring leaders as well as their steals numbers:
Another honor for the Irish freshman.
Notre Dame’s [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] is racking up records and honors one at a time. Another one came down from the Basketball Hall of Fame. Hidalgo was named one of 10 finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award. This honor is given annually to the top women’s point guard in the country.
Hidalgo, the only freshman finalist, would be the second Irish player to win this award after [autotag]Skylar Diggins[/autotag] did so in 2012 and 2013. However, she’ll face some stiff competition as two-time defending award winner Caitlin Clark of Iowa also is a finalist. The pool, which will be cut to five in March, also includes high scorer McKenna Hofschild of Colorado State and ACC assists leader Georgia Amoore of Virginia Tech.
Given the field she’s in, a lot would have to go right for Hidalgo to come away with this award. Still, the fact that she’s even on this list is evidence of how good she really is. Who knows what else is in store for her between now and March?

[autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] continues to do her best on a Notre Dame team that has hit a wall. The Irish have lost two of three since ACC play got underway as the lack of enough healthy bodies seems to be catching up to them. We’ll see if that will improve in the coming days and weeks. For now, here’s Hidalgo among the national scoring leaders and those leaders’ steals numbers:
