- Hidalgo aims to inspire fear in opponents with her aggressive play.
Notre Dame's junior guard Hannah Hidalgo is proving to be a dominant force on the court. She currently leads the nation in steals with an impressive 5.9 per game and ranks second in scoring at 25.5 points per contest.
Hidalgo has shattered multiple Notre Dame records, including the program's single-game scoring record with 44 points and the most consecutive games scoring in double figures, now at 81. Her aggressive style, aiming to "strike fear into opponents' eyes," has also seen her surpass her coach on the career steals list.
Despite significant roster turnover, with key players moving to the WNBA and other programs, Hidalgo has stepped into a crucial leadership role. She credits her growth to her coaches' emphasis on a "next play mentality" and emotional management, allowing her to play freely and effectively guide her team.
