Mavs overcome adversity to sweep Hanford in three sets

MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks volleyball team (1-0) kicked off the 2026 season with a 3-0 win over the Hanford Falcons on Thursday. “They came out mentally strong, fundamentally strong and excited to play,” Head Coach Krystal Trammell said. The Mavs won all three sets, but each round was a unique battle of its own. In the first set, they held the lead the entire time, but Hanford kept it close, at times cutting their deficit to within one point before Moses Lake ultimately pulled away 25-18.
