Hall of Fame
An Erie, Pa. native, Shouse started every game he played (108) during his four-year career with the Men's Basketball team. He participated for three years under Head Coach Karl Fogel before finishing his career with Gary Manchel.
As a rookie, Shouse was named Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Freshman of the Year as he helped the Lakers to a 17-10 overall record, an eight-game improvement from the previous year, and their first GLIAC playoff appearance in two seasons. He also led the Lakers to a GLIAC Tournament appearance in his final year. He averaged 13 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2.4 steals during his career. He finished in the top five in the conference in both steals and assists all four years.
At the time of induction, he ranked first all-time at Mercyhurst in steals (259), second in assists (538), fifth in scoring (1,408), and eighth in 3-pointers made (131). A defensive force and unselfish player, Shouse landed a spot on the All-GLIAC Defensive Team three times and led the team in steals and assists all four years. He earned all-conference honors on three occasions, taking home a First-Team All-GLIAC nod as a senior.
Shouse has played professionally in Europe since graduation. He started his pro career in Germany and has since been on the roster of several teams in Iceland.
