Hannah Hidalgo Shines as Notre Dame Defeats UConn, Ending Huskies' Unbeaten Run

The sophomore guard's dominant performance led No. 8 Notre Dame to a 79-68 victory over No. 2 UConn, marking the Huskies' first loss of the season.

Hannah Hidalgo recorded 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, solidifying her case as a national player of the year frontrunner.
Notre Dame's defense held UConn to just 3-for-16 shooting from beyond the arc, while the Irish hit 10 of their 18 three-point attempts.
UConn's Paige Bueckers led her team with 25 points but struggled to find support from her teammates in the loss.
The win marked Notre Dame's third victory over a top-five opponent this season, following triumphs against USC and Texas.
Notre Dame's backcourt duo of Hidalgo and Olivia Miles, who added 16 points despite an early ankle injury, proved pivotal in maintaining momentum throughout the game.
