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

Stephens recorded a season-high 15 points off the bench in the Nighthawks win over the Lakers. He was a perfect 6-of-6 from the field and 3-of-3 from behind the arc. He also contributed 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

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. 10, for the Throwback game against Columbus State at historic Memorial Hall.
