Dunand Tabbed All-American by Collegiate Baseball

TUCSON, Ariz. – NC State's Joe Dunand has been named an All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper (CBN), announced Thursday by the organization. The Wolfpack's starting shortstop garners second team honors.

Dunand owns a team-high 16 home runs and leads the team with 47 runs batted in (RBI). The Miami, Fla., native has compiled a .284 batting average on the year to go along with the Wolfpack's highest slugging percentage at .619.

Earlier this season, Dunand was tabbed CBN and College Sports Madness National Player of the Week and Co-ACC Player of the Week after he was 9-for-15 with 13 RBI, eight runs scored, four home runs and four doubles to help NC State compile a perfect 5-0 mark against opponents.

Dunand has put together a team-best .367 clip at the plate in the last 17 games, helping NC State win 14 of those contests.

For the season, he owns 13 multi-hit games and is second on the team with 12 multi-RBI contests. He turned in one of his top performances of the season against North Carolina Central with a 3-for-3 outing at the plate to go along with a pair of homers and five RBI.

Dunand is one of 14 selections from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), more than any other league.

NC State opens play in the NCAA Lexington (Ky.) Regional against Indiana Friday night at 7 p.m. at Cliff Hagan Stadium on the University of Kentucky's campus.
