May 4, 2023 | Men's Lacrosse
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Graduate student Timmy Ley and senior Roy Meyer of the Boston University men's lacrosse team were named to the Academic All-Patriot League Team, the conference announced on Thursday.
This is the second major Patriot League award that the duo has claimed this week, as Ley was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection and Meyer was a First Team All-Patriot League honoree. This is also the second straight year that Meyer has earned a spot on the Academic All-PL squad.
Ley shined in the classroom, posting a 3.93 GPA in the School of Hospitality. In addition to his strong work academically, Ley had another outstanding season at attack, totaling 36 goals and adding 14 assists for 50 points. The two-year captain became the first Terrier in program history to record 200 career points and enters the postseason with 148 goals and 63 assists for 211 points. He notched at least two goals in all 13 starts, including a pair of five-goal efforts in wins at Bucknell (March 11) and over Harvard (March 21). Ley is tied for 10th in the nation with seven man-up goals as he helped BU rank third in the nation on EMOs. Along with D'Alto and Perfetto, Ley is part of a Terrier attack unit that ranks fourth in the NCAA with 173 combined points.
Meyer, who earned a 3.54 GPA in the Questrom School of Business, turned in another fine season as he continues to be the top LSM in the country. Meyer led BU with 26 caused turnovers and was second on the squad (and first among non-faceoff specialists) with 62 ground balls. Nationally, Meyer ranked seventh in caused turnovers per game (2.17) and fourth among non-faceoff specialists in ground balls per game (4.77). He became the first Terrier in program history to record 100 caused turnovers and enters the postseason with 114 during his impressive career. Meyer recorded at least two caused turnovers in all 13 contests, including a career-high 10 at Bucknell on March 11. He twice recorded five caused turnovers, including in the Terriers' win over Lehigh on April 22. Meyer also scored a career-best three goals and helped the Terriers finish the regular season ranked second in the nation on the ride, holding opponents to just a .785 clearing percentage.
To be eligible for the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award and the Academic All-Patriot League Team, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and be a starter or key player in their sport. Freshmen or students in their first academic year at their school are not eligible for the honor.
