The
Cerritos
College
women's
water
polo
team saw
their
post-season
ended
abruptly
on
Friday
when
they
were
eliminated
from the
Southern
California
Regional
Playoffs
by Long
Beach
City
College.
The
Falcons,
who
entered
the
playoffs
as the
#2-seeded
team,
were
also the
defending
state
champions
and were
riding a
22-match
winning
streak.
The
Vikings,
who
escaped
their
first
round
match
against
Ventura
College
with a
one-goal
win,
posted a
5-3
score
against
Cerritos,
who
ended
their
season
at 29-2.
With the
score
tied at
1-1
after
the
first
quarter,
freshman
Georgina
Bray
(Whittier
HS)
gave the
Falcons
their
only
lead of
the game
on a
goal
with
7:18
left in
the
second
quarter.
The
Vikings
scored
the next
four
goals
until
Cerritos
closed
their
deficit
to 5-3
when
freshman
Sharon Pedregon
(El
Rancho
HS)
scored
with
3:43
remaining
in the
game.
But the
Falcons
were not
able to
get any
closer
and were
eliminated.
