Notre Dame Fighting Irish women’s basketball star Hannah Hidalgo is arguably one of the best players in the country and her record-breaking performance on Wednesday underscored that notion.

Hidalgo was in her bag, as they say. She set an NCAA mark with 16 steals and a Fighting Irish record with 44 points in the team’s 85-58 win over the Akron Zips. She added nine rebounds as well.

She played 28 minutes and was 16-of-25 from the field, including 3-of-6 from three-point range to help lead the No. 18-ranked team to the dominant victory. Akron committed 38 turnovers despite shooting 51.1% from the floor.

Hidalgo said after the game she knows what her teammates demand of her night in and night out and tries to deliver to the best of her abilities.
