Hannah Hidalgo made ACC history following her dominant performance in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's matchup against the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday night.

Hidalgo is going through the third season of her collegiate career, shining as one of the best players in women's college basketball. She led Notre Dame to a first-round bye, which is why their time in the ACC Tournament began in the second round against Miami.

Throughout 37 minutes of playoff action, Hidalgo didn't disappoint. She finished with a stat line of 28 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and five steals. She shot 12-of-22 from the field, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc, and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line.

Her remarkable ability to steal the ball paid off this season, per ESPN Insights. She now has 167 steals and counting, breaking Donna Holt's record of 164 steals at Virginia in 1987.
