SALT LAKE CITY— Sierra Hunt put down a season-high 17 kills from the right side and hit .424 while outside hitter Sydney Leffler and setter Sabrina VanDeList both recorded double-doubles to help power the nation's 18^th-ranked Colorado Mesa University Mavericks to a 4-set (25-21, 26-24, 15-25, 25-17) volleyball road win over host Westminster University on Tuesday evening here in the Griffins' Behnken Field House.
 
The Mavericks picked up their tenth win of the season against just three losses and defeated the Griffins, who fell to 6-6, for the 18th straight time since 2015.  Tuesday's match was a part of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Regional Pod schedule but does not count for the conference standings.
 
CMU also wrapped up a 3-match road stretch over a five day stretch with a 2-1 record as Hunt led the Mavericks in kills in all three outings.
 
She was stellar throughout much of Tuesday night's victory, committing just three hitting errors on 33 swings as VanDeList's second favorite target.
 
Meanwhile, Leffler tallied 14 kills and the same number of digs to record her second double-double of the campaign.  Her dig total was also matched a season and career-high.  She also added a pair of block solos.
 
VanDeList also tallied her second double-double of the road trip, the fourth of her season and the 43rd of her career with 46 assists and 11 digs.
 
Nicole Martin also chipped in nine kills and a pair of blocks while fellow middle blocker Storm Tadlock added five kills on .364 hitting while contributing three blocks.
 
Jordan Woods, who served as the Mavs' libero, tallied a season-high 11 digs.
 
The Griffins also had a double-double effort from Breegan Huntsman, who finished with 11 kills on 10 digs.
 
Leffler and Hunt both recorded five kills in the opening set as the Mavericks overcame a slight 12-11 deficit to go up 19-13 while eventually closing out the set on a Tadlock kill.
 
The Mavs trailed by as many as five late in the second set at 21-16 but roared back to close the run to 23 as defensive specialists Hahni Johnson and Marli Clausi helped serve the Mavericks back into the set.
 
CMU used a 3-0 mini-run to take a 24-23 lead as the teams exchanged hitting errors down the stretch, which eventually led the Mavericks to their 26-24 victory.
 
The Griffins also jumped out to a 9-3 lead in the third set and led by as many as ten points, which proved to be the final margin.
 
The hosts also took an 8-3 lead in the fourth set before the Mavs went on an 8-0 run of their own with freshman Rhyan Mason behind the service line to take an 11-8 lead.
 
The Griffins never fully recovered as Leffler put down five fourth-set kills to help the Mavs hit .270 in the final set while closing out the victory.
 
The Mavs will now return home for their next three matches, beginning on Saturday at 5 p.m. when they host Western Colorado for the second time in just 15 days in another RMAC Regional pod match-up.
