After opening the season with wins in two of their first three games, the Warriors have gone winless in their last three games since following a 17-11 loss to Mercy on Saturday.

Rogers is tied for the team lead with Stefanie Sellitto with 13 goals, including a team-best five tallies from beyond the 8-meter arc. Ella Dossier paces Webster with 10 assists.
The goaltending duties have been split between junior Lauren Vitello and freshman Lucy Starzyk, who have combined for 29 saves and a .312 save percentage through the first six games of the season.
Ella Dossier and Sellitto are among the top returnees for Webster in 2022 after finishing with 35- and 25-points last season, respectively. For their efforts, Dossier was named an All-League Second Team selection for attack while Sellitto earned All-League Second Team honors for midfield.
Webster’s biggest loss, however, came with the departure of senior midfielders Haley Bolton and Annie Mulhall as well as goaltender Linda Nutter. Both Bolton and Nutter were named All-Greater Rochester Honorable Mention selections while Mulhall was among the All-Greater Rochester Super 16 honorees.

Similar to Webster, Spencerport comes into the matchup having struggled as of late, dropping two of its last three and showing a 1-4 record through its first five games of the season. The Rangers’ lone win in that span, however, did come in dominating fashion with a 20-4 thrashing of Eastridge last Wednesday.
Led by ninth-year head coach Patricia Condon, Spencerport returns three of its core players this season in senior attack Ruby DePalma and Livia Fedele and junior goaltender Mckenna Hussar. The trio were named Monroe County All-League Second Team selections at their respective positions in 2021 with Hussar earning the honors as a sophomore.
Fedele and sophomore Molly Guzik are tied for the team lead with 12 goals while Guzik also paces the Rangers offense in assists (4) and points (16).
Fedele and Guzik fill the void left by the departure of Lily DePalma and Hailey Rooney, who collectively last season made up one of the most dynamic offensive duos across Section V.
DePalma, who’s now attending the University of Chicago, led Spencerport in scoring with 63 points, closing out her tenure with 146 career points as one of the most decorated players in the history of the program. She left the program as a two-time Section V (Class B) All-Tournament Team selection and Monroe County All-League Second Team selection as well as a US Lacrosse All-Academic and All-Greater Rochester Honorable Mention selection,
She currently serves as a coach at FCA Upstate Lacrosse.
