"This is a major win for us," Irish coach Niele Ivey said. "Obviously, it's just one win, but I'm really grateful for this group and really proud of our effort and the way that we showed up today with such toughness and discipline."
Hidalgo flirted with a triple-double (29 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists) and was the best player on the court as she continues to make a compelling case as the best player in the country.
UConn had no answer for Hidalgo's shooting from deep, where she drained a career-best six 3s on 11 attempts. The Huskies managed a paltry 3-for-16 clip from the 3-point arc.
The Huskies trailed by as many as 13 in the second quarter -- their largest deficit of the season -- but rallied in the third to make it a one-point game.
