He has led the Royals to a total of 232 victories including a school record 35 in 2017 when he was named the Landmark Conference Coach of the Year and saw junior Kristin Kirwin earn All-American honorable mention accolades. In 2021, senior middle hitter Eryn Boken became the third player in program history to earn AVCA All-American honors and the Royals went 25-8 on the season to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005. 

Scranton earned consecutive at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament in 2021 & 2022 and notched a 3-0 victory over St. John Fisher in the opening round of the 2022 tournament. 

In his first 12 seasons at the helm, Spangler has led the Royals to berths in the Landmark Conference Tournament in each season highlighted by runner-up finishes in 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024. Spangler also led Scranton to 23 wins in 2014 - when he mentored the University's first volleyball All-American, senior Julia Crilly - and 25 victories in 2015, the most in a campaign since 2007.

Spangler, came to Scranton after spending 2012-13 as the head boys’ and girls’ volleyball coach at nearby Abington Heights High School in Clarks Summit, Pa., where he graduated in 2005. Spangler led the Lady Comets to a 16-4 record and a runner-up finish in District 2 during the fall season. In the spring campaign, he led the boys to a 12-3 finish and second place in the Lackawanna League.

Prior to taking the coaching position at Abington Heights, Spangler spent four years (2009-12) as the head coach of the Pittsburgh women’s volleyball club, a student-run organization at the University of Pittsburgh that competed in approximately three to five events each semester, including the National Collegiate Club Volleyball Championships in the spring.

While at Pittsburgh, Spangler served as the president of the University of Pittsburgh men’s club volleyball from 2007 to 2009. The club team is a member of the National Collegiate Volleyball Federation, which promotes organized collegiate club volleyball for men and women. The team at Pitt annually competed in tournaments both at Pitt and at other universities across the country in both the fall and spring semesters.

Spangler is a native of Clarks Summit.
