NORMAN, Okla. (July 13, 2007) - ETSU rising senior Gareth Shaw (Lisburn, Northern Ireland) has been named to the Golf Coaches Association of America's Cleveland Golf All-American Scholars team for 2006-07.

This honor is only the most recent in what was a highly successful junior season for Shaw, who also earned honorable mention All-America and participated in the Palmer Cup as a member of the European team. Shaw is the first ETSU golfer to earn both academic and athletic All-America since Eamonn Brady collected those honors in 1999.

Juniors and seniors with a 3.2 minimum cumulative grade-point average are eligible to be a Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar.  In addition, athletes must obtain under a 76.0 stroke average for Division I.
