Massop Named Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week

DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia women's basketball player Kayla Massop has been named the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week after recording two double-doubles in her two games this week for the Nighthawks. Massop averaged 14.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in two road Peach Belt Conference games.

Massop had 14 points and 11 rebounds for UNG in a midweek road loss at No. 14 Georgia Southwestern. The senior from Plantation, Fla., led the way on the defensive side with four steals and one block. Massop followed up the performance with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the Nighthawks' weekend win at Lander, adding another four steals to her totals.

Massop earns the award for the first time in her career and becomes the fourth women's basketball player chosen for the award this season.

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.
