May 26, 2022 | Men's Lacrosse
BOSTON - Junior Roy Meyer, senior Matt Garber and junior Vince D'Alto of the Boston University men's lacrosse team were named USILA All-Americans, the organization announced on Thursday.
This is the first time in program history that BU has boasted three All-Americans in the same season, bringing its total number of All-America selections to 14. Meyer became the program's second USILA First Team All-American while D'Alto and Garber were both honorable mention selections. The trio helped lead BU to the program's first-ever Patriot League regular-season and tournament titles en route to the Terriers' NCAA Tournament debut.
Also chosen as an Inside Lacrosse First Team All-American, Meyer proved to be the best LSM in the entire country in 2022. He finished his impressive season with 58 caused turnovers and 81 ground balls. His 58 caused turnovers is the most by any NCAA player since 2013 and the second-most by any NCAA player since it became an official stat in 2010. His 81 ground balls is the most ever by a Terrier defender and ranks seventh all-time in the program's single-season record book. Meyer also tallied the first four points of his career, securing one goal and three assists. In addition to his success at LSM, Meyer showed his versatility by starting four games at close defense while Morrison was out with an injury. The Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year saved his best for last, totaling 29 ground balls and 22 caused turnovers over the last five games to help BU secure its first-ever conference regular-season and tournament titles.
D'Alto, an Inside Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-American, had one of the best seasons by a Terrier attackman in program history. He scored a career-high 45 goals and dished out a career-best 30 assists for a career-high 75 points in 17 games, notching a point in all but one contest. D'Alto is the fourth Terrier in program history to record 70 or more points in a single season. A First Team All-Patriot League selection, D'Alto posted 16 multi-point games and scored all goal in all 16 of those contests. He had a record-setting performance on March 26 against Lafayette when he tallied seven goals and seven assists for a program-record 14 points, becoming just the eighth Division I men's lacrosse player to notch at least 14 points and only the third player in 25 years to do so.
Garber, the Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year, finished the year with a .536 save percentage and a 10.41 goals-against average. Additionally, Garber was an integral part in the success of the Terriers' impressive 10-man ride. In conference play, Garber boasted a 9.32 goals-against average and a .581 save percentage en route to his 7-1 league record. He averaged 11.76 saves per game and held opponents to 10 goals or fewer on nine different occasions. In addition to his on-field excellence, Garber won the E. Ray Speare Award as BU's top male scholar-athlete in the senior class and was named to the Academic All-Patriot League Team.
