CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For the fifth time this season and 11th time in her illustrious career, Hannah Hidalgo has been named the ACC Player of the Week. No other league player has earned the accolade more than once this season.
Hidalgo averaged 29.5 points per game over the week, the most of any player in the ACC.
The junior scored a game-high 37 points in the win at Stanford, marking the third most points by a Notre Dame player in program history in a road game. Hidalgo’s 37 points were the most on the road by a Fighting Irish player since Jewell Loyd scored 41 against DePaul on Dec. 10, 2014.
Hidalgo was the only ACC player to score 30+ points in regulation this week. Hidalgo now has seven 30-point games this season, tying Arike Ogunbowlae’s program record for most 30+ point games this season. Furthermore, no other ACC player has more than two games with 30 or more points this season.
The guard also scored a team-high 22 points at Cal on Thursday evening to go along with six rebounds, six assists and two steals.
Hidalgo and the Fighting Irish return to Purcell Pavilion for a midweek ACC matchup against Virginia Tech at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 5. The game will be streamed on ACCNX.
