Fowler Named Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week
DAHLONEGA -- University of North Georgia (UNG) women's soccer senior goalkeeper Sierra Fowler has been named as the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week after helping the Nighthawks to a pair of wins in the 2024 NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament over the weekend.
Fowler pitched a pair of shutouts in UNG's pair of games this weekend. Against sixth-seeded Wingate on Friday, Fowler stopped five Bulldog shots to keep Wingate scoreless and aid UNG to a 2-0 victory.
A little more than 48 hours later, she halted four shots from seventh-seeded Lander which proved to be critical in a slim 1-0 win.
Fowler has now recorded six shutouts this season, five of which have come in the last seven games. In that span she's faced 26 shots on goal and stopped 23 of them.
The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Chick-fil-A of Dahlonega, with each week's winner being treated to a complimentary combo meal at the Dahlonega restaurant. Located at 488 Morrison Moore Parkway East, 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.
