Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo's stellar freshman year has come to an end.

The No. 2 seed Fighting Irish were defeated by Oregon State, 70-65, in the NCAA women's tournament Sweet 16 on Friday. Hidalgo missed a portion of the game after she was required to remove her nose ring and couldn't find her rhythm when she returned. She finished the contest with 10 points, four rebounds and three steals, shooting 4-of-17 from the field and 0-of-3 from three.

Hidalgo had 14 points and 11 assists in Notre Dame's 81-67 first-round win over Kent State and added 19 points and four steals in the Fighting Irish's 71-56 win over Mississippi State in the second round of March Madness.

Her production has earned her national recognition, even from Iowa star Caitlin Clark: "Hannah Hidalgo at Notre Dame. I think she's been tremendous. I think Hannah has kind of flown under the radar a little bit.”
