CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College junior Jordan Chimento was crowned ACC Player of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

The catcher/third baseman hit .533 with two home runs and seven RBI in four games last weekend at the Houston Hilton Plaza Invitational.

The Broken Arrow, Okla., native also recorded a .533 on-base percentage and .933 slugging percentage last weekend.

Chimento led a surging BC lineup that ranks first in the ACC and 15th nationally with eight runs per game. The Eagles (3-1) will next travel to the Wildcat Invitational for five games from Friday to Sunday in Tucson, Ariz.
