The four selections are the most since the 2012 squad placed four players on the all-region team. York put a school-record six players on the squad in 2008 with five of those players being first-team selections.
Zeiders was York's top selection as he was a second-team pick. He was also York's lone MAC All-Commonwealth first team honoree. Zeiders played in and started all 21 games for the Spartans as he notched nine points on two goals and five assists. He finished his career with 74 career starts and 5,291 minutes played. Zeiders scored 16 points on five goals and six assists during his career from his central midfield position.
Bono, a third team all-region pick, captured the starting goalie job in camp and had a fantastic year. He played in and started 19 games as he played 1,669:20 in net. He boasted a 0.81 goals against average and a .819 save percentage. He made 68 saves and was 13-2-4 for the year as he was a MAC All-Commonwealth honorable mention pick.
Marco joined Bono on the third team as he followed up a strong freshman campaign with an outstanding sophomore season. Marco started all 21 games as he led the team in minutes played with 1,816. He tallied six points on two goals and two assists while his goal against Eastern Mennonite was the game-winner. Marco was a second-team MAC All-Commonwealth pick earlier in the fall.
Williamson capped his Spartan career as a fourth-team All-Region V honoree. Williamson started all 21 games as he finished just behind Marco in minutes played with 1,731. He tallied nine points on four goals and one assist. He had game-winning goals in the matches against Lebanon Valley and Stevenson. Of Williamson's eight career goals, four were game-winners for the Spartans.
The Spartans had a tremendous turn-around year as they made an eight-win improvement over the 2023 squad. York concluded the year with a record of 14-2-5 as they advanced to the MAC Commonwealth title game for the first time in school history.
