Hidalgo played a big part in No. 15 Notre Dame’s takedown of No. 8 UConn, the Irish’s first top-10 win of the season. The freshman dropped a career-high 34 points, marking twice this season that she’s scored more than 30 points against top-10 opponents.

It was also a single-game scoring record for a Notre Dame freshman.
