No. 17: Ryan Boyle '04

Princeton has a storied tradition when it comes to men's lacrosse over the past decade and a half, and many great players share a responsibility for the Tigers' six national championships since 1992.But few stand out like Ryan Boyle '04, one of the greatest attackmen ever to grace the turf of Princeton.He was the man behind some of Princeton's other great players, able to place the ball literally on the stick of a man right in the goalie's face with ease."[Boyle was able to] see when a guy was going to get open before he got open," head coach Bill Tierney recounted."Ryan's passes were always just ahead of the game."One of those special players that stood out from the pack even at a young age, Boyle was widely recruited.

Building houses, not championships

New Orleans may have the immortal reputation of being the nation's premier rowdy party town, and for a few members of the men's lacrosse team, their fall break trip to the hurricane-ravaged town was loud, indeed.It was also dusty, sweaty and hard, complete with long days incessantly punctuated by the sounds of nails hitting hammers and the buzzing of saws ? a clamor far removed from the rowdiness of Bourbon Street.Over Fall Break, about a dozen teammates flew down to the city to volunteer their time and muscle for Habitat for Humanity, spending a week helping to build houses in an area destroyed by the floods that followed Hurricane Katrina.Senior co-captain and attackman Scott Sowanick and junior midfielder Mike Gaudio ? currently in the middle of a year off from Princeton ? took the lead in putting the trip together."It's pretty unique: Princeton is one of the only schools that gets this week-long break," Sowanick said.
