On the heels of
their third straight South Coast Conference
championship, and fifth in the last six years, the
Cerritos College women's tennis team has been seeded
#7 in the Southern California Regional Playoffs. As
a result, the Falcons (12-3) will travel to face
#2-seeded Cuesta College at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday. It
will mark the first meeting of the season between
the two teams, but it was the Cougars who eliminated
the Falcons last year in the first round of the
playoffs.

Samantha
Nadres (Troy HS), who has
posted an 8-2 record this season, was seeded #1 in
singles play, while freshman
Michelle Yi
(Warren HS) is the third seed. The top
eight seeds earn first round byes, which means
#7-seeded

a bye. For other Cerritos players will compete in
first round matches.
