Shaw Named To Daktronics All East Region First Team
University of the Sciences senior power forward Caitlin Shaw has been named to the 2010-11 Daktronics NCAA Division II East All-Region Women's Basketball Team as a first team selection in balloting done by the region’s 38 Division II Sports Information Directors. Daktronics is a world leader in programmable electric signs and digital displays and scoreboards.
Shaw (Monmouth Regional High School/Eatontown, N.J.), the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Player of the Year, led the CACC in scoring and ranks ninth in the nation averaging 19.6 points per-game. She scored in double figures in every game this season, registered 11 double-doubles and poured in a career-high 34 points in November against Bloomsburg. She also stands fourth in the conference in rebounding (9.6), third in field-goal percentage (.540) and 14th in free-throw percentage (.762). Shaw has led the Devils to a 21-6 overall record and a second place finish in the CACC Southern Division with a 16-3 conference mark. The Devils 21-6 mark represents a nine-win turnaround from the 2009-10 season when USciences finished 12-15.
This season, Shaw has earned CACC Player of the Week honors three-times and was named to the conference honor roll eight times. Caitlin set a school record earlier this year by making 16 free throws against Chestnut Hill College. Shaw also produced the third best single game shooting performance, an 11-12 effort (91.7%) at Philadelphia University, making her first ten shots and scoring 25 points in the Devils win over the Lady Rams.
Shaw recorded her 1,000th career point against Wilmington on January 13th and finished her career in ninth place on the Devils all-time scoring list with 1,229 points. She also ranks tenth on USciences' all-time rebound list with 585. In 98 career games, Caitlin recorded the fourth best shooting percentage in school history (49.9%) and also ranks fourth all-time with 359 free throws made. Her 12.6 points per game career average is the fifth best scoring average in school history.
The former Monmouth Regional High School athlete is in her fourth and final season of competition for the Devils. Caitlin is a physical therapy major in her first professional year and fourth overall in the institution's Doctor of Physical Therapy degree program. She is on target to graduate in May 2013.
