Announcement
Whitney Shaw, who has played first and third base for Sorcerer over the past two seasons, has selected Harvard University as the institution where she will continue her academic and softball pursuits.
Shaw had narrowed her choices to Harvard and Princeton, based on their academic excellence and successful Ivy League softball programs. Harvard is coached by Jenny Allard and was last year's Ivy champion, having compiled a 14-6 league record and 31-15 overall mark.
Shaw, who attends Redwood High School in Larkspur, Calif., has for some time been focused on a career in architecture and feels that Harvard offers her the best chance to achieve her professional goals. Whitney maintains a 4.0 GPA.
For the past two seasons she has been selected to the San Francisco Chronicle's All-Metro team and has been all-league at Redwood, conference champions during that same period.
"Harvard has been my school of choice for some time now, and I couldn't be happier than I am now with how things have worked out," she said.
"Of the scores and scores of kids who have graduated from our program to play at the Division I level," Sorcerer coach Phil Mumma said, "it is difficult to recall any player as focused on a profession as firmly as is Whit. As coaches, it gives us the best feeling to see softball help enable a young person to fulfill her dreams."
