Hannah Hidalgo and Ta'Niya Latson lead with impressive points stat which was last achieved by Kelsey Plum

Notre Dame star Hannah Hidalgo and Florida State standout Ta'Niya Latson have enormous talent. However, people didn't expect them to be chasing a statistic that was accomplished last by WNBA star Kelsey Plum.

The Bleacher Report women's sports page made a post via Instagram on Wednesday, highlighting the two players. It noted an X post referring to the statistic, as Hidalgo and Latson are averaging over 25 points per game on 50% shooting from the field or better this season.

The last person to achieve the feat was Plum in the 2016-17 campaign, when she played for the Washington Huskies, before going pro. She averaged 31.7 points on 52.9% shooting overall, breaking the NCAA record for points in a single season with 1,080 before Caitlin Clark surpassed her in the 2023-24 season.

"Averaging 25+ points on 50% shooting is INSANE," the post caption read.
