CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Hannah Hidalgo has been named the ACC Player of the Week for the fourth time this season, more than any other player in the league.
The junior has now earned the award 10 times in her career, becoming just the third player in ACC history to reach double digits in honors.
Hidalgo filled up the stat sheet in the win over No. 22 UNC on Sunday, scoring 31 points while adding 8 rebounds, 7 steals, 6 assists and a block. The junior was just one of two players in the country this week with 30+ points against a ranked team and the only to accomplish the feat in the ACC.
The guard also became just the second player this season at the D-I level to post 30 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 steals in a game and the only to do it against a ranked opponent. Hidalgo now has as many 30-point performances (5) as all other ACC players combined this season.
In Thursday’s win over Boston College Hidalgo scored 16 points and posted 6 steals, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. The junior now has nine games this season with five or more steals and leads the country in steals per game with an average of 5.9.
The Fighting Irish cap off the three-game homestand by welcoming No. 10 Louisville to Purcell Pavilion for a midweek matchup. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 15 and the game will air on ACCN.
