March, 2009 - Spencerport ended their league season tied for second in Monroe County Division III with a 7-3 record (9-7 overall). Seeded thirteenth in the Class A tournament the Rangers lost to McQuaid Jesuit in the first round and finished as seeded.

Offensively, the Rangers will look to Kyle Mark. Mark returns as the leading assister from last year with 21g-15a. Additionally, junior Nick Fischer returns with 21g-8a. Mark moves from the midfield to the attack this season to join Fischer. At the midfield, Spencerport will look to senior Sean DeMers (4g-6a).

Defensively, the Rangers are much stronger. At LSM, Spencerport is returning two 2nd team All County selections in senior Paul Wojcik and sophomore Andrew Sformo. Wojcik and Sformo will help solidify the close defense as well. Zack Yaeger will also be a key player in the close defense.
