Spencerport extended its unbeaten streak to 38 with a 4-0 shutout of Webster Schroeder in girls soccer Tuesday.
The Rangers, top-ranked in Class A and defending New York State Public High School Athletic Association champions, are 14-0-1 this fall and 35-0-3 since the start of last season. Schroeder is ranked ninth in Class AA.
"This team, coming off last year's success, just knows hopefully how to pace themselves and our best game is going to be our last game," coach Jamie Schneider told the Democrat and Chronicle. "Right now on both sides of the ball defensively and offensively, they're playing well."
The Rangers have another test Thursday against Victor, 16th in the most recent Class AA rankings.
Coykendall, a Northwestern University recruit in lacrosse, scored her 21st goal of the season in the ninth minute and assisted in 35th to build a 2-0 lead.

Westhill is ranked sixth and Marcellus 10th according to the New York State Sportswriters Association.
Just 23 seconds before the penalty kick, Jack Grooms tied the score. Marcellus had gone ahead on a David Bosak goal with 12 minutes to play.

"We definitely went through a rough stretch there in the middle of the season, but we're out to show everyone we're still a strong program," senior goalie Ryan Henning told The Times Union. "We're still a title contender."
Bethlehem and Shenendehowa shared the 2016 Section 2 title, but the Eagles advanced to the state playoffs on penalty kicks.
