"Hidalgo is coming off a season that saw the talented guard become just the fourth sophomore to earn All-America honors in her first two years. USC's JuJu Watkins also accomplished that feat last season, but is out for this year while she's recovering from a torn ACL she suffered in the NCAA Tournament. Courtney Paris and Maya Moore were also All-Americans their first two seasons."
"She will take on a bigger role this season with the loss of the other four starters to either the WNBA or the transfer portal. "I know the weight of that is heavy, the crown is super heavy," Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey said. "But I feel like she has done a great job of surrounding herself with the right network, the Notre Dame network, but also her family. She is very grounded with her family and her faith.""

Hidalgo became the fourth sophomore to earn All-America honors in her first two seasons. Betts averaged 20.2 points and 9.5 rebounds and helped UCLA reach No. 1 and the Final Four. Hidalgo averaged 23.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists and faces increased responsibility after four starters departed.
