CHARLOTTE, N.C. – North Carolina junior centerfielder Vance Honeycutt has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week for the second time in his career, the league announced Monday.
Â
Honeycutt posted a monster week at the plate, crushing home runs in each of the Tar Heels' first three games of the week. The Salisbury, North Carolina, native went 6-for-15 at the plate and slashed .400/.500/1.000 with three home runs and eight RBIs. He hit a go-ahead grand slam for the Tar Heels in Tuesday's win over Elon before recording four more hits against No. 11 East Carolina over the weekend, including the game-winning home run in Friday's 2-1 victory.
Â
Additionally, Honeycutt became just the second player in UNC history to join the 40 home run and 50 stolen bases club.
 Â
North Carolina returns to the diamond Tuesday against VCU to open a five-game homestand. The Tar Heels will host Longwood on Wednesday before welcoming Princeton to Boshamer Stadium for a three-game series starting Friday.
