PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence College men's lacrosse senior Tate Boyce (Matthews, N.C.) has been named a USILA All-America Honorable Mention, as announced by the organization on Thursday, May 23. Boyce becomes the first player in program history to achieve All-America status in multiple seasons, as he was also named to the USILA All-America Third Team in 2017.
 
Boyce, who is one of four Providence College lacrosse players to earn All-America status, graduated as the most decorated player in program history. During his career with the Friars, Boyce was a four-time All-BIG EAST First-Team selection and two-time BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year. He is the only player in program history to earn All-Conference First-Team recognition each season of his four-year career. He also is the first player to earn Goalkeeper of the Year recognition in multiple seasons.
 
Boyce is the first player in program history to be named to the Tewaaraton Watch List and was featured among the nation's top lacrosse players on the list in back-to-back seasons (2018 and 2019). The goalkeeper, who also is a Finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, was signed to the Boston Cannons of the MLL on May 13.
 
Statistically, Boyce finished his impressive career having appeared in 64 games and logged a total of 3,782 minutes. He registered a 9.60 goals against average and a 0.545 save percentage, while holding 33 of his 64 opponents to single-digit goals. Additionally, he collected a program-record 725 saves during his career, which also ranked first among active NCAA Division I goalkeepers.
 
The Friars' USILA All-America selections all-time include, Michael Farley (2006 Honorable Mention), Ben Johnston (2008 Honorable Mention), Jarrod Neumann (2017 Second Team) and Tate Boyce (2017 Third Team, 2019 Honorable Mention).
