DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia (UNG) men's soccer player Max Garnett has been named this week's Nighthawk of the Week after his performance against Barry and Christian Brothers.

Garnett was part of a North Georgia backline that allowed just one goal in the first two games of the season. In Saturday's matchup against Christian Brothers, Garnett assisted on the Nighthawks' first two goals before firing a shot from just in front of midfield that found the back of the net, giving North Georgia a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.

The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Chick-fil-A of Dahlonega, with each week's winner receiving a complimentary combo meal at the Dahlonega restaurant. Located at 488 Morrison Moore Parkway East, Chick-fil-A is proud to give back to the local area and serve as a community partner with UNG Athletics.

Beginning in the fall of 2014, the UNG athletic department has honored one student-athlete each Monday morning as the Nighthawk of the Week. The award is selected each Sunday evening by a committee made up of members of the UNG Athletics leadership team.

North Georgia returns to action Sept. 1 at home against Florida Tech. Kickoff is scheduled for noon at the UNG Soccer Complex.
