Notre Dame women's basketball fans already know Hannah Hidalgo is special. We now are at the time of year where she's being considered for national hardware, and this is the norm for her.
Hidalgo has been named a finalist for two awards presented by the WBCA. One is the Wade Trophy, which is given to the best player in women's basketball. A Notre Dame player never has won this award, and the only sophomore to win it was Maya Moore en route to becoming the only three-time winner.
Hidalgo also is a finalist for the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Award. This is another award the Irish have yet to have any of their player win.
Fans are able to vote for the winners of both awards from now until noon EDT on April 1. While Hidalgo will have stiff competition for the awards, it's great that she even has made it this far:
Good luck to Hidalgo in the fan voting.
