Hannah Hidalgo rewrites the Notre Dame record book all the time, yes, but every now and again she accomplishes feats that have seldom been met in all of college basketball. She did it again Wednesday.

Hidalgo was named an Associated Press First Team All-American for the second time in as many seasons to start her career. She’s one of four players to ever earn that status as both a freshman and a sophomore along with USC’s JuJu Watkins this year and Connecticut’s Maya Moore and Oklahoma’s Courtney Paris from prior seasons.

Hidalgo was also named a First Team All-American by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles earned Second Team status from both outlets, and the AP named fellow Fighting Irish senior guard Sonia Citron an Honorable Mention All-American.
