Davis Named Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week
DAHLONEGA — University of North Georgia softball pitcher Kristen Davis has been named as the Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week after helping the No. 1 Nighthawks to an unblemished mark at the season-opening Gulf Shores Invitational last week.
Davis earned half of North Georgia's four season opening victories in the pitching circle and did not allow an earned run in nine innings of work, striking out nine while scattering seven hits.
The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Chick-fil-a of Dawsonville, with each week's winner being treated to a complimentary combo meal at the Dawsonville restaurant. Located at 231 Power Center Drive, Chick-fil-a loves to give back to the local area and is proud to be a community partner with UNG Athletics.
Beginning in the fall of 2014, the UNG athletic department began honoring one student-athlete each Monday morning as the Nighthawk of the Week. The award is chosen each Sunday evening by an award selection committee made up of members of the UNG athletics administrative staff.
