DAHLONEGA | University of North Georgia head rifle coach Tori Kostecki has released the 2017-18 schedule of events as the Nighthawks look to defend the Southern Conference Championship that they won in their first season with the league.

Last year, North Georgia finished as the champion or runner-up in 11 of their 14 events, including capturing both the SoCon and the Georgia State Championships.

The 2017-18 schedule kicks off with a SoCon matchup on the road at The Citadel on September 23. After invitationals at Ole Miss and Memphis, the Nighthawks jump back into SoCon competition at Georgia Southern on October 14.

North Georgia will have a quick turnaround as they open home competition against the University of Tennessee at Martin on October 15 before an October 21 matchup against The Citadel at home on October 21.

Down the stretch of the season, the Nighthawks will take on North Carolina State on November 19 and Kentucky on January 27, 2018, before finishing the regular season at the Sectionals Qualifier at Virginia Military Institute on February 17.

The Nighthawks will then focus all their attention to defending the SoCon title on March 3 at The Citadel.
