"I don't ever really know my stats. I'm just out there hooping," Hidalgo said. "We knew that Ohio State wanted to play fast. So we just did a great job of just trying to slow them down."

Vanessa de Jesus scored 15 points while Iyana Moore and Cassandre Prosper had 13 each for Notre Dame.

Turnovers were the big key in the game for OSU. The Buckeyes turned it over 21 times, leading to 25 Irish points. Jaloni Cambridge led the way for the Buckeyes with 41 points on 13-25 shooting from the field.
