Hidalgo Named 1 Of 5 Wooden Award Finalists

While her freshman season has ended, the award season has not for Hannah Hidalgo.

On Tuesday, the star rookie was named a Wooden Award All-American and a finalist for the honor, which is given to the nation’s best women’s basketball player.

Hidalgo concluded the season averaging 22.6 points and 4.6 steals per game, both of which are single-season program records. She scored 790 points, which ranks third in program history, and notched 160 total steals, shattering the previous program record. She also led the nation in steals and ranked sixth in scoring.

As one of five finalists for the Wooden Award, Hidalgo has been invited to Los Angeles next week for the Wooden Award Ceremony.
