The Lancers won their third consecutive League and Western Mass Championships in 2009.

The team set a goal of reaching the State Final. Lofty for any team, but especially big since they lost 5 starters from the previous season. The Lancers found a lot of success on the court and played 16 different teams over 22 matches finishing the season with a 19-3 record.

In 2009, the leagues were realigned to create more parity. The Lancers continued to play in the toughest Div. II league in Western Mass and were paired with the other top 4 teams in the area. Changes to the schedule meant the Lancers now had to play cross-over matches with the toughest Div. III league as well as other Div. II teams we did not usually play. The team responded well, going 7-1 in league play and won their third league championship in as many years. The team also had success against Div. III perennial powerhouses Turners Falls and Mahar Regional.

For the second time in three years, the Lancers earned the number 1 seed in the Western Mass tournament. The Lancers played a home Quarter-Final match against 8th seeded Putnam winning in 3 straight sets. Next, the Lancers faced a stingy Chicopee Comp team in the Semi-Finals, a match that could have gone either way. The Lancers prevailed 3-1 by set scores 25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 25-23. The Western Mass Final was billed as potentially one of the most exciting in recent memory. The teams did not let anyone down. Longmeadow took the first two sets but found themselves behind in the 3rd and 4th set. Trailing 11-17 in the fourth set and having the fear of playing a 5th set against a strong West Springfield team the Lancers responded and took their first lead of the set at 26-25 and finally closed out the match on a Steph Lauria kill for 27-25. The stands emptied as students rushed the floor to celebrate with the team.

Third time was the charm for the state semi-final, not necessarily to win, but to show Longmeadow belonged there. The Lancers faced South Sectional Champion Bourne. Bourne had lost only two sets all postseason, reached a state final in six of the last 10 years. The Canalwomen were finalists in 2006 and 2007 and were Division III champions in 2000, 2002 and 2004 before moving up to Div II.

After dropping the first set 11-25 the Lancers responded by winning the next two. The fourth set was back-and-forth until Bourne pulled away and forced a fifth set. The Lancers had the lead 12-10 but couldn't stop the potent Bourne offense and ultimately fell 12-15. Ending the season and the Lancers goal of playing in a State Final.
