MOSES LAKE - The Moses Lake Chiefs have their groove on as the team has won four of five matches on the season.
Their latest victim ... the Cadets from Eisenhower High School whom the Chiefs beat at home in three sets (25-19, 25-22, 25-20) last night.
"I thought the girls played really well," coach Amy Utter said. "We were down 15-5 in the third set, but came back to win convincingly. It would've been easy for the girls to roll over facing such a big deficit, but they didn't. I couldn't be more proud of them."
Sadie Nielsen led the offensive attack for Moses Lake with 19 kills. She also had seven blocks and 12 digs. Briana Valdez added nine kills and six digs, Karina Lafave had five kills, three blocks and nine digs, libero Taylor Sonnenberg contributed 17 digs and Kenzie Fancher finished with 32 assists and 11 digs.
The win over Eisenhower improves the Chiefs to 3-1in CBBN league play and 4-1 overall.
"The girls have improved a lot this year. It seems like every rotation we have a different go to person as they are really playing well as a team right now," Utter said. "These girls are really getting after it. They are a fun group to coach, and are having a lot of success, and deservedly so because they have been working so hard in practice and in the games."
Moses Lake is out of action the rest of the week, but host two games next week. The Chiefs play Davis Oct. 2 and Sunnyside Oct. 4. Both matches start at 7 p.m.
