Both the Cerritos
College men's and women's soccer teams won the state
championship last season, while the women were
crowned the National Champions and the men finished
ranked second. On Saturday, both teams will begin
defense of their respective titles at home. The
Falcon men's team, which placed second in the South
Coast Conference, was seeded #3 and will host
#14-seeded Palomar College at 11:00 a.m. on
Saturday. As for the women, who are the two-time
defending state champions and winners of the South
Coast Conference, they were seeded #8 and will play
at 2:00 p.m. against #9-seeded San Diego Mesa
College.
The Falcons
(17-2-2) men's team will be facing Palomar (11-6-2)
for the first time this season and are riding a
four-match winning streak, with the last three being
shutouts. The Comets were champions of the Pacific
Coast Conference, but have only two wins against
teams with winning records on the year with both of
them coming against Southwestern College. As for
Cerritos, they have seven wins against teams with
winning records, including six that have advanced to
the playoffs. The winner of the game will face the
winner of the #6 Los Angeles Harbor College against
#11 ECC Compton Center game and play on Tuesday.
On the women's
side, Cerritos (19-2-0) was affected by a weak
conference, which dropped their power ranking so
low, even though they won the championship. As a
result, they will host the Olympians (17-3-0),
winners of the Pacific Coast Conference, which
appears to be the best match-up of teams in the
first round. San Diego Mesa has defeated one team
that has made the playoffs this season, while the
Falcons have wins over three teams that advanced to
the post-season. The winner of the game will face
the winner of the #1 Santiago Canyon College against
#16 Santa Ana College game and play on Tuesday.
