The Unstoppable Junior Guard Who Dominates Both Ends with Historic 25/6/5/5 Season
Hannah Hidalgo is the undisputed GOAT of Notre Dame women's basketball, delivering a historic 2025-26 season where she averaged 25.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 5.6 steals per game—the first NCAA player this century to hit the 25/5/5/5 mark [1][5]. Her differentiators are elite two-way dominance: she led the nation in steals (5.4 per game) and set an NCAA record with 202 total steals while also scoring a program-record 44 points in a single game [2][4][5]. Beyond stats, Hidalgo possesses an unmatched intensity and scoring consistency, holding the record for 96 consecutive games with 10+ points and reaching 2,000 career points in just 86 games [2]. As a 2026 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and back-to-back ACC Player/Defensive Player of the Year, she brings a championship pedigree (Sweet 16 leader) and a gold-medal-winning USA Basketball background [2][3]. If you need a player who can single-handedly elevate a team's offense and shut down opponents defensively with relentless energy, Hidalgo is the perfect, franchise-defining fit.
