    The Cerritos College women's basketball team came out in the second half of their South Coast Conference crossover game at home against East Los Angeles College on Friday night lighting up the scoreboard. Leading 34-21 at intermission, the Falcons (16-11) drained three straight three-pointers, which helped them cruise to an 86-50 win over the Huskies (11-15). Cerritos will now travel to Los Angeles City College on Wednesday for another 5:30 crossover game.
  
    The trio of sophomores Rachel Butler (Calvary Chapel HS) and Mercedes Taylor (Gahr HS), along with freshman Maleta Daughtery (Redondo HS) each netted a trey, as the Falcons had their lead up to 20 points (43-23) with only 2:08 expired off the clock. The lead continued to swell and it was as high as 31 points before settling on the 28-point victory.
 
    Although the three players accounted for 58 of the team's points, it certainly was a team effort in registering the team's fourth win in a row. Making her fifth start of the season, freshman guard Cherish Sanchez (Norwalk HS) posted four points and five assists, while freshman forward Vannesa Faagata (Paramount HS) scored seven points and added seven rebounds off the bench.
 
    However, it was Taylor's 23 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and three steals that paced the team, while Daughtery (19 points, 5-of-7 3-pointers, three steals) and Butler (16 points, five rebounds, five steals) who controlled most of the tempo of the game. Freshman Adria Jackson (Paramount HS) played her best game of the season, as she pulled down nine rebounds to go along with her six points and three assists, while freshman guard Raven Tripp (John Glenn HS) finished with five points, four rebounds, three assists.
 
    East Los Angeles cleared out for guard Megan Iloff, who led all scorers with 29 points, while she also added five rebounds, five steals and four assists.
