LAS VEGAS, N.M.— Senior outside hitter Sadie Scoville and freshman opposite Henley Madsen both recorded 11 kills as the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks hit an impressive .365 as a team in a 25-17, 25-11, 25-19 sweep over New Mexico Highlands University in Saturday night Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference volleyball action here inside the Cowgirls' John A. Wilson Complex.
 
The Mavericks, ranked 23^rd in the national poll, improved to 6-3 with the victory and have now started RMAC play 2-0 for the third straight year.
 
CMU has also won 17 consecutive matches since 2011 in the rivalry.
 
NMHU fell to 4-6 overall and to 0-2 after the opening weekend of conference play.
