He was also one of three athletes honored as Winter Athlete of 1970, and was a finalist for Senior Athlete of the Year. A biology major, Dougherty participated on the hockey team from 1967-1970, making 2,331 career saves. In 1969-70 he set the single-season school mark which still stands with 1,091 saves. In a contest against University at Buffalo in 1968-69, Dougherty stopped 70 shots, which was a single-game school record.
