Spencerport started the final quarter strong offensively with a free throw from Doug Potter and three field goals from Mark Miller. A long three-pointer and a free throw from Chris Albano along with another Miller basket pulled the Rangers to within three points with 1:25 left in the game, but the Lancers held on for the victory.
