DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia (UNG) women's basketball player Zaynah Preston has been voted this week's Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week.

Preston scored 20 points on 6-of-12 shooting in 37 minutes in North Georgia's 87-76 win over No. 18 Columbus State while adding seven assists, then posted six points and five assists in Saturday's win over Lander. Preston also recorded the first two blocks of her career on Saturday.

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 leadership team.

North Georgia will return to action on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at USC Aiken.
