2012 marks the 4th season for Coach Boyer with the Anteaters,
who have established themselves as one of the premier programs not
only in California, but the country. UC Irvine is coming off their
second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament and back to back Big
West regular season titles.
Boyer continues to work with the team's keepers in addition to
playing a vital role in the development of the field players. 2011
was the beginning of a new era for Goalkeeping at UCI with the
graduation of senior goalkeeper Danielle de Seriere, the 2010 Big
West Goalkeeper of the Year, who signed with FC Twente of the Dutch
women's league. Freshman Jenn Randazzo stepped in between the pipes
for all 21 games of the season and for the second consecutive year
UC Irvine finished conference play #1 in Goals Allowed (6), Goals
Against Average (.77) and Shutouts (5).
Along with his work with the goalkeepers, Coach Boyer continues to
have a significant contribution to the success of the field
players. He has coached multiple Big West All-Conference, Player of
the Year recipients and 2011 marked the second straight season in

program, including travel coordination, planning of training
sessions and academic relations.
A New Jersey native, Coach Boyer came to California in 2006 to
serve as an assistant coach at the University of Redlands, led by
