CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Notre Dame sophomore guard Hannah Hidalgo has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, and Georgia Tech guard Dani Carnegie earned Rookie of the Week honors for games played between December 9-15.
ACC women’s basketball weekly awards are voted on by the league’s Blue Ribbon Panel.
Hidalgo averaged 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 4.5 steals per game, as she led Notre Dame to a pair of non-conference victories last week, headlined by a 29-point effort in Thursday’s 79-68 win over No. 2 UConn. Within her game-high 29 points against the Huskies, the Merchantville, New Jersey, native knocked down six triples, grabbed 10 rebounds, handed out eight assists and tallied three steals for her 17th career game with at least 20 points, five rebounds and five steals. On Sunday, the guard dropped in 27 points and swiped six steals in a 118-49 win over Eastern Michigan.
Carnegie averaged 18.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game and shot 13-for-29 (44.8 percent) from the field in Georgia Tech’s wins over ULM and No. 14 North Carolina. After the Mount Vernon, New York, native recorded 14 points and eight boards in a 97-37 victory over the Warhawks on Wednesday, Carnegie posted 22 points and a team-high nine rebounds in Tech’s 82-76 road win over the Tar Heels, sealing the program’s best start to a season at 11-0. With the performance, the guard is now one of only two freshmen in the ACC to own multiple 20-plus point outings.
Six ACC teams are currently ranked in the Associated Press (AP) Top 25, headlined by Notre Dame climbing to No. 3. Duke is No. 9, Georgia Tech is No. 17, North Carolina is No. 19, NC State is No. 21 and California made its debut at No. 24.
