The 2021-22 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Player of the Year and CCC First Team selection, Dottin led the Bison and finished fourth in CCC in scoring at 19.4 ppg. The Cambridge, Mass. native scored in double-figures in 24 of the 25 games he appeared in, including 13 games with 20+ points and two 30-point efforts against Western New England (37 points on January 19; 35 points on February 12).

Dottin – who was named to the D3hoops.com National Team of the Week on January 25 – dished out five-or-more assists in 11 outings, highlighted by nine-assist efforts against Anna Maria (Nov. 13) and Salve Regina (Dec. 1). His game-tying three at end of regulation in an OT win against Endicott on February 16 helped secure the No. 1 seed for Bison in conference playoffs, where they defeated Wentworth, Suffolk, and Salve Regina to capture their fifth-straight conference title.

Dottin joins Marcos Echevarria (2018-19) and DeAnte Bruton (2019-20) as previous members of the NC men's basketball program honored by the NABC. He is the fifth student-athlete in program history to receive D3hoops All-Region honors, joining Echevarria, Bruton, and Nichols Hall of Famers Ryan Sheehan '14 and Irving Eggleston '16.

Joining Dottin on the D3hoops All-Region squad was Marcus Azor from UMass Dartmouth, Jarred Houston from Emerson, and John Lowther and John Adams of WPI. The NABC team is comprised of Dottin, Azor, Houston, Lowther, Jeff Hunter of Keene State, and Jake Ashworth of UMD.

The Bison finished the 2021-22 with a record of 25-4, which tied them with the 2015-16 and 2017-18 squads for the second-highest win total in program history.
