CLEVELAND — The Women's Basketball Coaches Association has announced its 2024 Division I Coaches' All-America honors, and a pair of Irish earned recognition from the organization.
Freshman Hannah Hidalgo was one of 10 athletes to be named to the formal team after averaging 22.6 points and 4.6 steals per game this season en route to being named ACC Rookie and Defensive Player of the Year and ACC Tournament MVP. The latter mark led the nation and the former ranked second in the nation amongst freshmen.
