DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia men's golfer Noah Zediker has been named the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week after his seventh-place finish at the NCAA Division II South/Southeast Regional, helping UNG advance to their second consecutive appearance at the NCAA National Championships.

Zediker paced the Nighthawks throughout, carding a four-over-par 67 in the first round, followed by a one-under-par second round, finishing the third round in seventh place with a score of one-over-par. Zediker finished the regional with 15 birdies on the scorecard, highlighted by a bogey-free back nine in the first round, where he hit four birdies on the final nine holes.

It is the second time Zediker has earned the Nighthawk of the Week award this season, winning it in the fall after winning the individual title at the Lander Bearcat Invitational. 

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.
