CHARLOTTE, N.C.  – Florida State senior forward Makayla Timpson and Notre Dame sophomore guard Hannah Hidalgo have been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Co-Players of the Week, and Georgia Tech guard Dani Carnegie and Fighting Irish forward Kate Koval shared ACC Rookie of the Week honors

Hidalgo posted back-to-back 20-point performances in Notre Dame’s two victories over James Madison and at Lafayette. The Merchantville, New Jersey, native averaged 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.5 steals per game last week, headlined by a 29-point effort on 5-of-6 from distance in Sunday’s win over the Leopards. Offensively, Hidalgo finished 17-for-33 (51.5 percent) in the pair of games, while also swiping nine steals which added to her league-leading total of 21.

Koval averaged 12.5 points, 17.5 rebounds, 6.5 blocks and 2.5 assists in the Fighting Irish’s two wins last week. The native of Kyiv, Ukraine, opened the week with 14 points, 16 rebounds, six blocks and finished 5-for-7 (71.4 percent) from the field to lead Notre Dame to a 92-46 win over JMU. Koval closed the week with 11 points, 19 rebounds and seven blocks in the Irish’s 91-55 victory at Lafayette, becoming the first Notre Dame player with seven blocks in a game since Brianna Turner in 2017. The seven-block effort was the most by an ACC player this season, as Koval now holds the top two highest block games this season.

Notre Dame remains 6th in this week’s AP women’s basketball poll, following its perfect 4-0 start.
