Very well deserved ...
Florida State graduate guard Sara Bejedi has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, while Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo earned Rookie of the Week honors. Bejedi earns her first weekly award of the season, while Hidalgo claimed her eighth Rookie of the Week award on the year.
ACC women’s basketball weekly awards are voted on by the league’s Blue Ribbon Panel.
Bejedi averaged 27.0 points and shot 50 percent (15-for-30) from the field, headlined by a 10-for-18 (55.6 percent) mark from 3-point range, as she led Florida State to a pair of ranked conference victories last week. The Helsinki, Finland, native opened her week with a team-high 23 points, with five made triples, in the Seminoles’ 70-62 win over No. 20 North Carolina. On Sunday, the guard continued her hot hand with a career-high 31 points and five 3-pointers in a home victory over No. 11 Virginia Tech. The guard also averaged 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in the wins.
Hidalgo averaged 26.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 5.5 steals in a pair of conference wins last week. The Haddonfield, New Jersey, native posted 27 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals for her fifth double-double of the season to pace the Fighting Irish to a 98-48 win over Boston College. On Sunday, the guard recorded a game-high 25 points, seven rebounds and seven steals for her 13th game with 20 points or more, as Notre Dame held off Miami, 70-59. Hidalgo is one of two major conference players in the nation to average 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.
Tying for the most in the nation, a total of six ACC teams are ranked in the latest Associated Press (AP) Poll. NC State continues to lead the way, moving up a pair of spots to No. 4. Louisville also climbed two positions to No. 13, Virginia Tech is No. 14 and Florida State made the biggest leap to No. 15. Notre Dame is No. 19, North Carolina is No. 23 and Syracuse is currently receiving votes.
Conference play continues Thursday with a doubleheader on ACC Network. At 6 p.m., No. 23 North Carolina hits the road to take on Georgia Tech, while No. 14 Virginia Tech visits Duke at 8 p.m. On Sunday, ACCN features another doubleheader when No. 4 NC State plays host to Duke at noon and No. 13 Louisville heads to No. 23 North Carolina in the lone top-25 matchup of the week.
