DAHLONEGA - University of North Georgia softball player Tybee Denton was named the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week Monday morning by the athletic department.

Denton was 2-0 this weekend in the Gulf Shores Invitational, throwing complete games in both outings. She struck out 17 batters across her 12 innings of work, allowing just two runs along the way.

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.
