College career
[edit]Leveille played college lacrosse at UMass from 2000 to 2003. At UMass, Leveille was a three-time USILA All-American.[1]
Playing under head coach Greg Cannella, Leveille is one of the most notable players in UMass lacrosse history. Captaining the team in 2003 alongside Tom Fallon and Chris Fiore, Leveille helped lead the Minutemen to a 13-3 record, No. 5 final national ranking, and an appearance in the quarterfinals of the 2003 NCAA Division I men's lacrosse tournament.
Leveille’s name as of 2025 still litters the UMass lacrosse record book. His 7 goals and 3 assists against Stony Brook on March 1, 2003 is still the most recent 10+ point game at UMass. He is also 9th in games played, 14th in points, and 10th in goals in program history.[2]
