Junior guard Bryan Dougher (Scotch Plains, N.J.) of the Stony Brook men's basketball team has been named to the All-America East second team, the conference announced at its annual awards reception prior to the start of the 2011 America East Championship.

Dougher, who earns second-team honors for the second consecutive season, was Stony Brook's leading scorer during the regular season, averaging 13.2 points per game while shooting 34.7 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from three-point range. He also led the team in three-pointers made (81), assists (60),  steals (27) and free throw shooting (.863).

Among his conference peers, Dougher ranked 11th in America East in scoring, second in free throw shooting and second in three-pointers made per game (2.8).

Dougher has had four 20-point games this season and has buried five or more three-pointers in a game seven times, including four times during conference play.

Dougher has played 91 career games at Stony Brook and is the school's all-time leader in three-pointers made with 242. He is also the program's 21st student-athlete to record 1,000 career points and is now 11th all-time in scoring with 1,61 points. In addition to his two All-Conference honors, he was named to the America East All-Rookie team as a freshman in 2009.

Dougher and the Seawolves were 13-16 overall and 8-8 in America East during the regular season and enter the 2011 America East Championship as the No. 5 seed.
