"I am honored and excited to be named the head coach at Saint Anselm," said Moyce. "It is a privilege to lead such a talented and hardworking group of student-athletes. I'm grateful to Coach Rowe and the College for their trust, and I am committed to building a team that reflects the values of Saint Anselm."
