What a season Jon Bakero's having.

The son of a former Barcelona standout, the Wake Forest senior continues to save his best for last in Winston-Salem.

Over the weekend, another multi-goal performance pushed Bakero into double digit totals in goals and assist. He's currently atop the latest Players to Watch list, and is emerging as a front-runner for Player of the Year.

Three other ACC players are in the top five, with North Carolina stellar sophomore Cameron Lindley behind Bakero, and Notre Dame talisman Jon Gallagher at No. 4.

Other standouts atop the list include Indiana center back Grant Lillard (No. 3) and Stanford star Tomas Hilliard-Arce.
