A four-year starter at Providence, Tate Boyce emerged as one of the finest goalies in the nation.
Boyce finished his senior season with the Friars in 2019 as the Big East leader in both save percentage and saves per game.
In 2019 he played professional lacrosse with the Boston Cannons under Coach Sean Quirk (episode 34 with Coach Quirk) and teammates with Nick Marrocco and we discuss his experience there.
This past year Tate signed to the expansion Waterdogs LC prior to the 2020 PLL Championship Series joining Charlie Cipriano and Matt DeLuca as the team’s rostered goalies.
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, and the first player to earn Goalkeeper of the Year recognition in multiple seasons.
Boyce also is the first player in program history to be named to the Tewaaraton Watch List, which honors the nation’s top lacrosse players, in back-to-back seasons (2018 and 2019). Additionally, he is one of four players in program history to earn USILA Division I All-America honors, and the only player to earn All-America honors in multiple seasons (2017 and 2019).
Tate was lucky enough to be recruited and coached by one of the legends at goalie, John Galloway and we discuss that experience including what it was like when Galloway left to take the head coaching job at Jacksonville.

Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life.
