Community

Boyce has played an integral role as a leader of the men’s lacrosse program’s community service initiatives. He volunteers at Hasbro Children’s Hospital every Wednesday during the offseason.

The senior goalkeeper is a three-time All-Big EAST First Team selection, one of just two players in program history to earn this distinction. Boyce was also named Big EAST Goalkeeper of the Year in 2017. In that same season, he picked up USILA/Nike third-team All-America honors and Inside Lacrosse honorable mention All-America accolades, as well. Entering the 2018 season, he was selected to the Preseason Tewaaraton Watch List. At the conclusion of last season, he was named to the NEILA All-New England Second Team.
