The Meadowdale Mavericks girls basketball team didn’t have a game on the first day of the Top of the Peak Tournament at Glacier Peak High School on Friday but made up for their absence with an attention-grabbing victory on Saturday.

Meadowdale defeated the Lincoln Abes of Tacoma 67-60 in a consolation bracket game that featured the no. 14-ranked Mavs and the no. 16-ranked Abes in the WIAA 3A state RPI rankings.

Three Mavs reached double-figures in scoring: Fatoumata Jaiteh led the way with 16 points while Lilly Williams and Soriah Swinton each tallied 15 points in the win.

Next up for Meadowdale are back-to-back home games on Thursday and Friday, Jan. 2 and 3, when the team first hosts Kamiak Jan. 2 and then the 3A RPI no.7-ranked Arlington Eagles Jan. 3. Tipoff both nights is set for 7:15 p.m.
