DAHLONEGA -- University of North Georgia freshman
Grace McGill has been named the Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week after two solid performances for the Nighthawks this week.
McGill played the hero in UNG's 1-1 draw at 19th-ranked Lee, finding a goal with 1.4 seconds remaining in the game to keep the women's soccer unbeaten streak alive. On Sunday (Sept. 10), McGill added an assist, finding
Nikki Gomez for the second goal of the game against Young Harris, sealing the victory.
At the start of a young season, the freshman from East Coweta has shown early success, putting herself in position to make clutch plays.
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.
