Mavericks sweep Sunnyside, improve to 6-3

MOSES LAKE — Thursday night’s 3-0 sweep of Sunnyside improved the Mavericks to 4-3 in the Columbia Basin Big 9 this fall and 6-3 overall, as Moses Lake began its second run through the league. The Mavericks were coming off a bye and hadn’t taken the court for a match since Oct. 3. “It was nice having that break off – we were tired, and they kind of got rejuvenated,” Head Coach Krystal Trammell said. “We talked about our goals and what they had to do for the second half of the season. Tonight was fantastic to start implementing that.” After Sunnyside took a 2-1 lead early in the opening set, the Mavericks scored on 13 of the next 17 rallies, including five straight at one point, to take a convincing lead before holding on for a 25-11 win in the frame.
