CHARLOTTE, N.C.— Hannah Hidalgo has started the season in style, claiming the first ACC Player of the Week honor of the 2025-26 campaign. The junior has now earned the award seven times in her career, which is tied for the fifth most in ACC history.
The guard led the Irish to two wins in the opening week of play, averaging 29.5 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 5.5 apg and 3.5 spg. Her 29.5 ppg leads the ACC by six points per game.
Hidalgo has two of the three top scoring performances of all ACC players over the week of play, scoring 32 points in the win over Chicago State and 27 points in the victory over FDU. Her combined 59 points are the most she has scored in her first two games of a season in her career.
The junior was one of just 13 players nationally to score 30 or more points in a game during the opening week of play.
Notre Dame is back at Purcell Pavilion at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 12 as it takes on Akron in a non-conference matchup. The game will be streamed on ACCNX.
