DAHLONEGA - University of North Georgia men's golfer Evan Thompson was named the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week Monday morning.

Thompson won the 2022 Spring Kickoff Intercollegiate last week by four shots over the field, leading the Nighthawks to the team title as well. He was one of three players in the 112-player field to finish under par for the event and the only one with two rounds in the 60s.

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.
