LOS ANGELES — For the second time in as many years, Hannah Hidalgo is a finalist for the top award in women’s college basketball.
On Tuesday, the Irish sophomore was named one of five finalists for the John R. Wooden Award, which is given to the nation’s best player.
Hidalgo averaged 23.8 points per game this season, breaking her own Notre Dame scoring record from last year (22.6). This year’s mark currently ranks fifth in the country. Additionally, Hidalgo joined Irish legend Arike Ogunbowale as the only players in Notre Dame history to post multiple 700-point seasons.
The sophomore also finished the season with 119 steals, the Irish sophomore record. It is just the fourth time in program history a Notre Dame player has had a 100-steal season. Hidalgo did it last year as well (160).
