Shaw named head coach for 2012 "Taking over when Paul did was difficult, especially since he was a player on the team as well as assistant coach," F.C. New York President Doug Petersen said.  "Paul impressed upon us how much he wanted the position and he was worked very hard with members of the area soccer community to be out watching matches or leading clinics."Together with Director of Soccer Carlo Acquista, Shaw has spent the past few weeks doing player evaluations and renewing or releasing players prior to the league deadline. "I am eager to get going and improve our performance for our second year," Shaw said.F.C. New York finished its inaugural season at 6-11-7, just two points short of the final USL PRO National Division playoff spot.  Season tickets for 2012 are now on sale.  For information please call 866-827-0154.  FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR TO ARRANGE AN INTERVIEW, PLEASE CONTACT LAUREN PETERSEN, PUBLICATIONS AND MEDIA RELATIONS COORDINATOR AT 866-827-0154 OR  lauren@fcnewyorksoccer.com
