Daniel Cuvet, Miami Hurricanes - The third baseman had an absolutely monster series last weekend and was the catalyst for the sweep over Boston College. In three games, he went 5 for 11 with two walks in 13 plate appearances while driving in at least one run in every game for a total of five RBIs, including all three of their runs in their 3 - 2 victory on Sunday to clinch the sweep. He also crossed the plate three times. It was an incredible weekend, and he will look to stay hot against the Wolf Pack.
Chris McHugh, NC State Wolf Pack - McHugh is the most dangerous hitter in the NC State lineup. He leads the team in OPS (1.037), batting average (.377), hits (60), and RBIs (46). The key to winning this series for the Hurricanes will be cooling off his bat and not letting him wreak havoc at the plate.
