The Cerritos College men's tennis team had a rough day all around on the second day of the Southern California Regional Tournament, which is being held at Riverside Community College. The Falcons, who advanced all three of their doubles teams through the first day, saw all finish the day with losses, while the team's lone singles player still in the championship round was defeated. The third day of the tournament runs through tomorrow.

 

    In doubles action, freshmen Doug Edwards (Western HS) and Jason Wall (Lakewood HS) opened the day with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Brian Howath and Joao Toledo of Grossmont College to move to the next round. However, the team then had to withdraw due to an injury. Carlos Gomez (Kennedy HS) and David Sim (Cerritos HS) were defeated, 5-7, 3-6, while Nik Bote (Mayfair HS) and Matt Jun (Cerritos HS) dropped a 3-6, 6-4, 6-7 decision to #5-seeded Francisco Alvarado and Dan Nguyen-Huu of Mt. San Jacinto College.

 

    Edwards, who is seeded #7 in singles play, was upset by Grossmont College's Waylon Bennett, 0-6, 7-6, 4-6, who is seeded #10. He now drops into the consolation rounds.
