Even though the
Cerritos College men's soccer team defeated South
Coast Conference rival Mt. San Antonio College all
three times they faced each other, the Falcons were
still seeded #2 Behind the Mounties when the
seedings were announced for the Southern California
Regional Playoffs. With 13 teams making the
playoffs, the top three seeded teams receive a bye
and won't play until next Tuesday. Cerritos (18-4-1)
clinched the conference championship on the last day
of the regular season when they defeated Long Beach
City College and Pasadena City College lost to Los
Angeles Harbor College. With that loss, Mt. SAC
moved into second place in the conference. The
Falcons won both games this season against Mt. San
Antonio and defeated the Mounties in the
championship game of their own tournament at the
beginning of the season.
The Falcons, who
won the state championship in 2006, will face the
winner of the #7-seeded Riverside Community College
versus #10-seeded Fullerton College game next
Tuesday. The time of the game will be decided after
the first round games have been completed. If the
Cerritos women win their first round game this
Saturday, the game times (11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.)
will be determined on which opponent has to travel
the farthest for the game. The Falcons have not
faced either of their possible opponents this
season.
