Mavericks show grit in 2-0 loss to Eisenhower
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks (4-9) were defeated 2-0 at home by the Eisenhower Cadets despite a gritty battle throughout the game. Head Coach Alysha Overland felt the tough loss. "It was a good game, a good game played by our girls," she said. "The second half, the girls came out with some fire. It hurts to lose that one. We're coming off a lot of momentum. The girls really wanted it, but I still think we're in a good spot. I'm optimistic for where we're headed." The Cadets earned both goals in the first half, scoring within the first three minutes after exploiting an opening in the Mavericks formation. The two teams went back and forth for about 27 minutes before Eisenhower found the net once more to give themselves a 2-0 lead at halftime. From there, the Mavericks defense took it to the Cadets, not allowing another goal. However, they were unable to capitalize on their own opportunities in the attack, including in the final minutes.
