When she tells Phillips her favorite player is Hannah Hidalgo, the two embark on a mission to find the Notre Dame point guard.

Then he reaches the fourth floor of the hotel where he spots the three-time All-American. McClary’s eyes lit up.

It was a moment that Phillips, who has spent a lifetime in college athletics, won’t forget. More: Audi Crooks had plenty of options.
