North Carolina junior centerfielder Vance Honeycutt is the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week for the second time in his career.

The league made the announcement on Monday following a monster week by Honeycutt, a former Salisbury High standout who is expected to be picked early in the MLB draft this summer.

Honeycutt was 6-for-15 with three homers and eight RBIs.

He hit a grand slam to key a win against Elong and had a game-winning homer in a 2-1 win over East Carolina.

Honeycutt recently became the second player in program history record 40 homers and 50 steals.

North Carolina returns to the diamond Tuesday. The Tar Heels have a five-game homestand against Virginia Commonwealth, Longwood and Princeton.
