The men’s water polo team defeated Los Angeles Trade-Tech College 16-3 on Wednesday, Oct. 14 at home.

The Falcons held the LATT Beavers at bay by leading the game up 12 points before the opposing team was able to coin its first goal of the game.

However, not everyone shared the same thoughts about the first half.

Head coach Joe Abing said, “We had a disappointing second quarter but outside of that a lot of our players had some great playing time.”

Some of those players contributed to the seven goals in the first quarter, one in the second, five in the third and ultimately three in the fourth.

Out of those 16 goals four of them were scored by CCCAA player of the month freshman utility Angel Rojas who previously broke the record for most goals in a game during their game against Chaffey College on Oct. 7.

Unlike Abing, Rojas believed his team had a great game and an easy win against LATT because the players did what needed to be done, which was to play an organized game.

Although the Falcons have some time to rest before its next game Abing plans to use that time to work on being more vocal while in the water since he felt that this game was far too quiet.

“I think we did okay communicating but of course we have more to work on if we are going to face Long Beach City College again,” says Rojas about their biggest competitor who they lost to on Monday, Oct. 12 at long Beach.

This game marks their final for the South Coast conference before Cerritos’ post-season in which they will take part in the Golden West Tournament on Oct. 23-24.

Hey! My name is Vanessa Villasenor. This will be my first semester serving on the newspaper but hopefully will not be my last before I transfer. I am a journalism major and although it terrifies me to talk to people I don’t know it is also the reason I love this field so much. This field gives me a good excuse to cover up for me just being really nosey. Don’t get me wrong I do like a good chisme just as much as the next person but I also enjoy photography, listening to music that has substance, and binge watching foreign movies (subtitles are life!). .Besides that I’m just a fun-sized girl trying to enjoy life.
