The Cerritos
College volleyball team took another step toward
putting themselves back in with some of the elite
teams in Southern California. On Friday night, the
Falcons opened South Coast Conference play with a
23-25, 26-24, 25-18, 25-20 win at Long Beach City
College. The win improved the team's record to 4-2
overall and 1-0 in conference action. Cerritos will
now host Los Angeles Trade-Tech College in a 6:00
p.m. conference match on Monday.
In the first game,
the Falcons held a 22-19 lead, but saw the Vikings
come back to pull out the first game. The roles were
switched in the second game, as Cerritos fought back
for a crucial 26-24 win that gave them the momentum
to post two more wins and take the match. The
Vikings held a 23-19 lead in the second game, but
the Falcons scored seven of the next eight points
for the win.

(California HS) led the team with 14 kills,
while sophomore
