The 3-seed Notre Dame Fighting Irish (28-5) take on the 2-seed TCU Horned Frogs (33-3) on Saturday, March 29, at 12 PM CT. Here are some key players on the Notre Dame team that TCU fans should know before the game.

#3 Hannah Hidalgo

Guard from Merchantville, New Jersey. Sophomore

Hannah Hidalgo is one of the best and most skilled players in the country, leading her team in both scoring and steals. A two-way threat, she excels on offense with her ability to score from anywhere on the court, including from deep, while also playing lockdown defense against some of the nation’s top guards. The last time she faced TCU, she was a problem, pouring in 27 points. To have a chance in this matchup, the Horned Frogs must find a way to disrupt her rhythm and limit her shot opportunities.

This season, Miles has elevated her game even further, significantly improving her three-point shooting and becoming even more of a threat. For the Horned Frogs, containing Miles will be crucial.

#11 Sonia Citron

Guard from Eastchester, New York. Senior

Sonia Citron might be the most well-rounded player on this Notre Dame squad, excelling in nearly every aspect of the game. She is a reliable shooter and playmaker, capable of running the offense while also thriving in pick-and-roll situations and shooting efficiently off the catch. Offensively, she has the ability to catch fire at any moment, making her a constant scoring threat. Defensively, she stands out as one of the best guards in the country, capable of locking down elite opponents. The Horned Frogs must stay disciplined and keep a close eye on Citron, because giving her any space could quickly turn into a problem.
