In 2006, as a senior, he was First-Team All-American, and appeared in the 2006 USILA North-South Senior All-Star Game, where he was named the game's Most Valuable Player. With Moyer anchoring a defense which gave up less than 7 goals a game in 2006, Hofstra won 17 games in a row, reached #2 in the national polls and reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.[2]

Moyer was also a member of the 2003 U.S. Men's Under-19 Team International Lacrosse Federation World Champions.[3]

After being acquired in a trade prior to the 2006 season, Moyer was part of a defensive unit that helped the Philadelphia Barrage win the MLL championship in 2006, and 2007.[4]

The Philadelphia Wings acquired Moyer as a free agent prior to the 2008 NLL season[2]
