PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior third baseman Brendan Dougherty (Clive, Iowa/Dowling Catholic) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week announced Wednesday.

Bradley's active career leader with 156 career games played, Dougherty's streak of 154 consecutive starts at third base is believed to be the third-longest active streak of consecutive games started by any position player in the country and the longest at the hot corner. An honorable mention All-MVC selection at third base in each of his first three seasons, he completed the abbreviated 2020 season with a .301 career batting average. The 2017 MVC Freshman of the Year and a Collegiate Baseball Freshmen All-American, Dougherty qualified for the MVC Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award in 2018 and 2019.
