DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia (UNG) women's golfer Mackenzie Connell has been named this week's Chick-fil-A Nighthawk of the Week after a first-place performance at the Peach Belt Conference Championship last week.

Connell earned the individual medalist honors after carding a 7-over 223. Her first two rounds of 73 helped Connell secure a two-stroke victory over Flagler's Sofia Terzoli.

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.

No. 11 North Georgia returns to action May 4, competing in the NCAA Division II South Regional in Cleveland, Tennessee.
