Defeating El Camino College Compton Center for the second time in a row, Cerritos College women’s basketball won 94-44 on Saturday at Gahr High School.

This was Cerritos’ fifth win in a row.

“I am very happy and proud about how unselfish we were today. We passed the ball, had a good shooting percentage and everyone got involved, ” Cerritos Coach Karen Welliver said.

The Falcons began to pull away from the Tartars after Pena and Rendon, with help from English, were able to get a 14-0 run, which would add to their 31 point lead at this point.

Cerritos was able to end the half with a 54-20 lead over ECC Compton.

For the remainder of the game, the Falcons were able to maintain the lead, and not let the margin drop below 34 points.

This is the first time that Cerritos was able to defeat a team by a margin of more than 50 points.

“We don’t really look to run up the score on anyone. We were playing zone defense and everyone shot well. Playing hard like this is really what it is about,” Welliver said.

The Falcons are currently in second place in the South Coast Conference, with a record of 8-1.

Cerritos’ next game will be away against the first place team Mt. San Antonio College today at 5 p.m.
