Cornell University

Shaw was inducted as a truly great player. Following a decorated prep career at LaFayette (N.Y.) High School, Shaw became a three-time collegiate All-American at Cornell University and helped the Big Red capture the initial NCAA national championship in 1971. 

As a midfielder, Shaw earned All-Ivy League first team honors in 1970, 1971, and 1972 as Cornell claimed the league title in each of those seasons. He led the league in scoring in both 1970 and 1972 and finished his career with 86 goals and 123 points. Shaw was named Cornell’s team MVP as a senior and also chosen to play in the 1972 North-South All-Star Game. 

Following his collegiate career, Shaw remained active as a club lacrosse player for 12 years and was recognized with all-star honors throughout that time. He was also a member of the 1974 U.S. Men’s team that won the world championship. Shaw has been previously inducted into four halls of fame, including both the USA Lacrosse Upstate New York Chapter and USA Lacrosse Northern California Chapter Halls of Fame.
