For the fourth time this season and first since Dec. 16, Notre Dame sophomore guard Hannah Hidalgo is the ACC Player of the Week. She averaged 32 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in Fighting Irish road victories over Virginia Tech and Louisville in the award period.

For the season, Hidalgo is averaging 26.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.9 steals and 3.8 assists per game. She’s a National Player of the Year Candidate despite having one fewer ACC Player of the Week award win than Florida State’s Ta’Niya Latson, who has five. Latson is percentage points ahead of Hidalgo in the country’s scoring title race.
