The Cerritos College men's soccer team scored a pair of first half goals in their South Coast Conference match against Long Beach City College on Friday. Those goals held up, as they Falcons (7-1-1, 2-0-0) posted a 2-1 win. On Tuesday, the team will host ECC Compton Center at 4:00 p.m. in another conference match.
The aggressive approach Cerritos displayed in the first half paid off, as they scored twice over a four-minute span to take a 2-0 lead midway through the first half. The opening goal of the game came from freshman Sebastian Velasquez (Hollywood HS), who scored in the 21st minute, while sophomore Jose Ochoa (Paramount HS) finished off a play from freshman Christian Carrillo (Katella HS) early into the 25th minute.
The Falcons peppered LBCC (2-3-3, 0-2-0) goalkeeper Daniel DeHaro with 12 first-half shots, with seven of them on net. By the end of the game, Cerritos had outshot the Vikings, 21-9. Freshman goalkeeper Ivan Del Campo (Granada Hills Kennedy HS) earned his seventh win of the year by making just one save. He did surrender a goal in the 77th minute, but LB City would not pressure the remainder of the game.
