Hannah Hidalgo is calling the 2025–26 season a “blank canvas” for No. 18 Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish’s roster has some strong players returning from last season, starting with the junior guard and Naismith hopeful, and followed by Cassandre Prosper and KK Bransford. But as the only returning starter from last year’s roster, Hidalgo has had a lot of new faces to get familiar with. Luckily, though, there are some natural leaders in the mix to join her in guiding Notre Dame through the season. Enter: Vanessa de Jesus.
