The Cerritos
College women's basketball team was seeded #16 out
of 18 teams for the Southern California Regional
Playoffs and will host a first round game at 7:00
p.m. against Santa Barbara City College, who was
seeded #17. If the Falcons (20-12) win the game,
they will travel to face top-seeded and three-time
defending state champion Mt. San Antonio College on
Saturday evening.
Champions of the
South Coast Conference South Division, Cerritos will
be getting their second look at the Vaqueros
(22-12), who finished third in the Western State
Conference North Division. Back on December 7 at the
College of the Sequoias Tournament, SBCC handed the
Falcons a 72-58 defeat. At the time, Cerritos was
without freshman guard
Adria Jackson (Lynwood HS),
who has added an offensive spark off the bench since
her return from an injury.
In that game, the
Vaqueros received 24 points, nine rebound and five
assists from 5-11 guard Katie Russell, while the
Falcons shot only 37% from the field and were
out-rebounded, 53-34. Santa Barbara pulled away for
the win after a close 37-33 first half. By contrast,
SBCC used 15 players in the game, while Cerritos had
only eight. For Cerritos, sophomore forward
Mercedes Taylor (Gahr HS) led
the team with 18 points, while freshman guard
Maleta Daughtery (Redondo HS)
added 13 points.
