Hannah Hidalgo Drops 4-Word Reaction on DI Record-Breaking Two-Way Performance With 16 Steals

DI NCAA star Hannah Hidalgo shared her reaction to her record-breaking two-way performance in Notre Dame's 85-58 win over the Akron Zips on Wednesday. She scored 44 points, collected nine rebounds, dished out four assists and made 16 successful steals to secure a win for her team.

ESPN's women's basketball X account praised Hidalgo's stellar performance with a post on their timeline. The Notre Dame guard retweeted the post with a four-word reaction in the caption.

"All Glory to Jesus Christ 🙌🏼" she wrote.

The Fighting Irish guard set a new record for most points scored in a single game in the program's history, in addition to setting a new record for most steals made in a single NCAA game.

Hidalgo is in her junior year at the University of Notre Dame. She joined the program in 2023 and earned a starting spot on the roster shortly after her arrival. She has been a consistent scorer and one of the top guards in the women's college basketball scene for some time.

The Fighting Irish guard's performances this season have surpassed those of her first two years at Notre Dame. It's still very early to judge Hildalgo's season, given that her team has played only three games so far.

However, she is averaging 34.3 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists in three games, while shooting 55.7% from the field. She looks more than ready to start her professional career in the WNBA, but unfortunately, Hannah Hidalgo is not eligible to declare for the draft until 2027.

Veteran Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey was left amazed by Hannah Hidalgo's record-breaking performance

Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey talked with the press after securing the win. She was asked about her thoughts on Hannah Hidalgo's stellar performance. The coach kept her response simple and described it as amazing.

"She played with such aggression the entire time she was on the floor,” she said. “It’s pretty amazing what I just witnessed."

Ivey is a fomer WNBA player, who has played for the Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury. She is a Notre Dame alumni, who has been involved with the female basketball team for 23 seasons. She assumed the head coaching position for the program in 2020.

The veteran coach has seen many talents grow and mature before her eyes, so when a player does something that amazes her, it is a sign of their great potential.
