Sophomore first baseman Whitney Shaw, who leads the Ivy League with 12 home runs, was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Tuesday for strong hitting in key games against Dartmouth and BU last week. Tops on her team in runs, RBI, and slugging percentage, Shaw and her .338 batting average—second on the squad—will try to overpower Cornell’s pitchers in the Ivy League Championship Series, beginning today in Ithaca, N.Y.
