ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Former Boston University men's lacrosse standout Chase Levesque has signed a contract to play for the Chesapeake Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse, as announced on Monday.

Levesque was selected by the Bayhawks in the third round of the 2020 MLL Draft. If he suits up for Chesapeake, he will become the sixth Terrier to play in the MLL, joining James Burr ('19), Christian Carson-Banister ('17), Dominick Calisto ('17), Cal Dearth ('17) and Greg Wozniak ('17).

A native of Ridgefield, Connecticut, Levesque enjoyed a fantastic four years at BU, highlighted by a career year as a junior last season. He set career highs in both both ground balls (65) and caused turnovers (31) while also scoring seven goals and dishing out two assists for nine points, all of which were career bests. In 2020, he appeared in all six games, tallying 29 ground balls and causing nine turnovers while finding the back of the net once. Levesque will leave BU ranked fourth all-time in program history with 160 ground balls and 61 caused turnovers, with his 61 forced giveaways good for sixth-most among active NCAA players.

He graduated from the Questrom School of Business with an impressive 3.73 GPA and was a three-time Patriot League Academic Honor Roll selection. In addition to having the best season of his career in 2019, Levesque also boasted a 4.0 GPA as a junior while studying business administration and management.
