After finishing in second place in
the South Coast Conference, the Cerritos College men's
soccer team was seeded #5 in the Southern California
Regional Playoffs and will host a first round game on
Saturday. The Falcons, who were ranked as high as #2 in
Southern California into the final week of the season,
saw their power rating drop after all teams in the state
reported all of their games. As a result, Cerritos
(15-3-5 overall) went from earning a first round bye
(the top four seeds earn a bye) to hosting #12-seeded
Santa Barbara City College (12-6-3) at 2:00 p.m. The
Vaqueros came in third place in the Western State
Conference.
A win by
Cerritos on Saturday will send them on the road to
#4-seeded Santa Ana College, who earned the final bye in
the first round and are the two-time defending state
champion. The Falcons have not played either Santa
Barbara City or Santa Ana this season. Tickets for
Saturday's game are $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for
students.
