Headlining this year’s Preseason All-ACC Team is two-time ACC Player of the Year and three-time ACC Defensive Player of the Year Hannah Hidalgo of Notre Dame. The winner of the 2025-26 Nancy Lieberman Award, recognizing the top point guard in the country, Hidalgo set the ACC single-season scoring record with 909 points last season, surpassing the previous mark of 908 set by Clemson’s Barbara Kennedy in 1982. The Merchantville, New Jersey, native was also named the Naismith and WBCA National Defensive Player of the Year.
Hidalgo headlines the 10-member Preseason All-ACC Team, featuring players from eight different teams. Eight players who earned First-Team All-ACC honors a season ago from either the coaches or Blue Ribbon Panel were selected for this year’s preseason team.
