By the time this season is over, Notre Dame’s [autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] will have more hardware than most players earn their entire careers. The freshman guard is the ACC Rookie of the Week for the ninth time, leaving her one short of the conference record for most in a season, and the Naismith Women’s College Player of the Week, undoubtedly fueled by her 34 points in the Irish’s upset road win over UConn.
What Hidalgo is doing this season defies all comprehension. From the moment she set foot in the court in the Irish’s season opener against top-ranked South Carolina in Paris, she’s barely had a bad game if at all. Until she was held without a steal against the Huskies, she had no fewer than three in every game before that. Only three players, including Iowa star Caitlin Clark, have higher scoring averages than her nationally. One only can imagine what she’ll do next.
