Before Colsey joined the MLL, he played in the National Lacrosse League (NLL) for nine seasons.

Roy attended Syracuse University where he was a third-team All-American in 1992 and was a first-team All-American from 1993-1995. In 1995 he was awarded the Donald McLaughlin Award for National Division 1 Men's Lacrosse Midfielder of the Year. He won two National Championships with the Orangemen ('93, '95). He graduated from Syracuse University in 1995.

In 2006, he was selected to the Men's U.S National Lacrosse Team.
