DAHLONEGA -- University of North Georgia men's basketball junior guard Cayden Charles has been named as the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the week after helping the Nighthawks to a key road win at Georgia College last week. 

Charles had a big game as UNG picked up its second conference road win of the season to move to 11-4 overall and 3-0 in Peach Belt Conference play on Wednesday.

The Kennesaw, Ga. native dropped a game-high 22 points on a very efficient shooting night. He went 7-for-12 (58.3 percent) from the floor, 3-for-4 (75 percent) from downtown and 5-for-8 (62.5 percent) at the free throw line.

Charles added five rebounds and three steals defensively for the Nighthawks, giving him 94 steals in his career. That mark is now the fourth-most steals in the NCAA Division II era (2005) of UNG men's basketball history. 

Charles and company are back in action today, Monday, Jan. 13, at Lynn Cottrell Arena at the UNG Convocation Center at 7:30 p.m. against No. 25 Columbus State in a big-time matchup that was rescheduled from inclement weather conditions over the weekend.

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.
