For the second
time in the last four days, the Cerritos College
wrestling team was defeated by Santa Ana College. At
the Southern California Regional Duals this past
Saturday, the Dons posted a 16-6 win and followed
that up with a 33-6 South Coast Conference win over
the Falcons on Wednesday night. With the win,
Cerritos dropped to 6-3 overall and 0-1 in the SCC,
while Santa Ana is now 9-0 and 1-0. The Falcons will
now travel to East Los Angeles College for a 7:00
p.m. conference match next Wednesday.
In the loss,
Cerritos only won two of the 10 weights, as
sophomore
Caleb Gerl
(Calvary Chapel HS) won at 184 pounds and
freshman
Jose
Lopez (John Glenn HS) won his
match at 285 pounds. For Gerl, he improved to 7-0 at
the weight and 18-0 on the year. In his match, he
opened with a 4-0 lead in the first period against
Luis Onofre, thanks to a takedown and a two-point
near fall in the first two minutes. After Onofre
posted a reversal in the second period, Gerl held on
the rest of the period and scored an escape and
wound up collecting another point for riding time to
secure the win.
As for Lopez, he
improved to 18-2 on the year with his second
straight win over Brian Klevias in the last four
days. On Wednesday night, he posted a 4-3 win, while
he won 3-1 in their previous match. After a takedown
with 1:01 remaining in the first period, Lopez saw Klevias
get an escape point before the end of the first
period. A reversal by Lopez early in the second
period gave him a 4-3 lead, while Klevias collected
a pair of escape points to round out the scoring.
In the other
matches, the Falcons were defeated handily, except
at 197 pounds where freshman
Tim McMihelk (Canyon Springs HS)
looked to pull the upset on Jimmy Botharas. After a
scoreless first period, where Botharas was warned
for stalling, the tie was broken when the Santa Ana
wrestler picked up an escape point to start the
second period. There was no more scoring in the
second, but Botharas secured the win by riding out McMihelk
the entire third period to earn the riding point.
