Notre Dame Fighting Irish guard Hannah Hidalgo helped Team USA reach the quarter-finals of the FIBA Women's Americup in Chile. Notre Dame head coach Niele Ivey was joined by Hidalgo's teammates in wishing her the best for the tournament in a post on Instagram.
Vanessa de Jesus, KK Bransford, Kelly Ratigan, Iyana Moore, Luci Jensen, and Cassandre Prosper were all in the video, which was posted by Notre Dame Women’s Basketball on Friday.
"Hey Hannah, we just wanted to say good luck as you compete in AmeriCup, go get the gold, we're all here to support you, we love you, we miss you," Ivey said, before Hidalgo's teammates said, "We love you, we miss you."
