KAREN WELLIVER NOW WINNINGEST COACH IN
HISTORY |
With their
54-51 South Coast Conference overtime home win
over El Camino College on Wednesday night,
Cerritos College women's basketball coach
Karen Welliver has now placed her name
atop the list of most career wins in California
Community College Women's Basketball history.
Now in her 27th season, Welliver now has 564
career wins, pushing her past Tom Martinez, who
posted 563 wins at San Mateo College. The team
is now 13-11 overall this season and 1-1 in
South Divisional play.
Only the second women's basketball coach at Cerritos,
Welliver (564-285) has led the Falcons to nine
South Coast Conference championships and six
appearances in the state championship
tournament. Ironically enough, Welliver won her
500th game in 2005 against San Mateo, who is now
coached by Michelle Warner, who played for the
Falcons from 1986-88.
