 With their 54-51
South Coast Conference overtime home win over El
Camino College on Wednesday night, Cerritos College
women's basketball coach
Karen
Welliver has now placed her name atop the
list of most career wins in California Community
College Women's Basketball history. Now in her 27th
season, Welliver now has 564 career wins, pushing
her past Tom Martinez, who posted 563 wins at San
Mateo College. The team is now 13-11 overall this
season and 1-1 in South Divisional play.

Welliver (564-285) has led the Falcons to nine South
