Team USA is gunning for gold at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, which will earn them a direct spot at the FIBA World Cup in Germany next year.
Hidalgo has experience with Team USA, having played as part of the U17 and U19 Women’s World Cup teams in 2022 and 2023, winning gold at both events.
The guard is coming into this trial off a solid season with Notre Dame, where she averaged 23.8 points per game, breaking the single-season record in program history.
The team will be led by Duke University coach Kara Lawson, who will be assisted by DeLisha Milton-Jones of Old Dominion University and Jennie Baranczyk of the University of Oklahoma.
During the trials, Robyn Fralick of Michigan State University and Jim Flanery of Creighton University will be present to help with the selection.
Notre Dame star Hannah Hidalgo to reunite with former teammate Olivia Miles
Olivia Miles and Hannah Hidalgo appeared to have a beef after the former left the Fighting Irish, transferring to TCU.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda in April, Hidalgo spoke about Miles’ transfer.
"You know it was her decision," Hidalgo said. "If that's what she thought the best decision for her was, then that's what is best for her. I don't know what's best for her. Only she knows what's best for her. So whatever she has going on, I wish her all the best. But I'm really focused on what me and my teammates have going on right now."Both players reunited at the trials for the Women’s AmeriCup team and will have to find a way to become teammates again if they make the final cut.
