Carolyn Boyd's Stetson Hatters open the 2012 season this weekend at Patricia Wilson Field with the Stetson Lead-Off Classic, a four-team event that will see the Hatters go up against South Dakota twice as well as single games against two-time defending MAAC champion Iona and Samford.

A versatile player, Boyd (Germantown, Tenn.) provides veteran savvy that should be an asset to the 2012 Hatters. Boyd currently serves as the A-Sun NCAA National SAAC Representative, is the the chair of Stetson University's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and former A-Sun SAAC chairwoman. She has started 54 games at first base over the last two seasons, developing into an excellent fielder that made just two errors in 239 chances in 2011. Boyd has recently shown signs of blossoming on offense as well, raking four base hits against Rollins and homering against St. Petersburg College in the fall exhibition season.
