LOUDONVILLE, NY – Siena Basketball sophomore standout Gavin Doty continues to rack up the honors. The Fulton, New York product has secured Eastern College Athletic Conference First Team acclaim.
 
Doty becomes just the program's 10^th All-ECAC selection dating back to 1954, and only the third Siena player ever spanning the past 61 years to earn All-ECAC First Team acclaim, joining Jack Mulvey (1965) and Jalen Pickett (2020).
 
The latest award adds to a laundry list of honors for Doty following a remarkable season in which he led Siena to the program's seventh Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament Championship and eighth NCAA Tournament berth. Currently one of 30 finalists nationally for the 2025-26 CollegeInsider.com Lou Henson Award, presented annually to the top mid-major player, last week he was named a National Association of Basketball Coaches North Atlantic District First Team honoree. Earlier this month, Doty earned MAAC Tournament MVP honors following a unanimous First Team All-MAAC performance.
 
Doty wrapped up his brilliant sophomore season with 991 career points scored – a program record for the most points scored by a Siena player through their first two seasons donning the Green and Gold – breaking the previous benchmark of 979 set by legendary fellow No. 4 Marc Brown between 1987-89. Doty scored 629 points this season alone – fourth-most in program single-season history and the highest total in 24 years (Dwayne Archbold – 715 points in 2001-02) – while his 18.0 points per game was the highest scoring average by a Siena player since Ryan Rossiter averaged 18.7 points during the 2010-11 season.
 
Doty ranked in the top-10 in the MAAC in multiple offensive categories this season: second in scoring (18.0), third in minutes (36:46 – currently 15^th nationally), fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.23), fifth in defensive rebounding (5.5), and eighth in both rebounding (6.9) and free throw percentage (.858). He also paced the Saints with 15 20-point efforts and six double-doubles.
