DAHLONEGA – Senior men's basketball player Shawn Hopkins has been named the Einstein's Bagels Nighthawk of the Week for Nov. 19 as announced by the UNG athletic department on Monday.
 
Hopkins averaged 22.5 points per game while shooting 60 percent from the field and over 57 percent from downtown.  He led UNG in scoring in each game, starting with a 24-point performance in a road win at Lee and finished the week with 21 points in limited action in a home victory over Southern Wesleyan.
 
The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Einstein Brothers Bagels of Dahlonega, with each week's winner being treated to a free coffee and bagel at the Dahlonega restaurant.  Located in the food court of the Hoag Student Center, Einstein Bros. Bagels is your neighborhood bagel shop. Einstein's proudly serves its guests with freshly baked bagels, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, coffee, catering and so much more.
 
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.
