Cerritos College men's soccer player Luis Garcia (La Habra HS) was named the South Coast Conference South Division Offensive Player of the Year. The Falcons, who won the division championship, also had four 1st Team and four 2nd Team selections.
Garcia is the second Falcon in the last three seasons to be voted for the award. He is currently fourth on the team with five goals and is tied for the team lead with nine assists. Selected to the 1st Team were freshmen Jose Ponce (San Pedro HS) and Guy Julien (National Haitian Student Alliance), along with sophomores Edwin Corona (Cathedral HS) and Ivan Vazquez (Fullerton HS). Those named to the 2nd Team include sophomore Ivan Martin Del Campo (Granada Hills Kennedy HS), as well as freshmen Hector Jimenez (South East HS), Adrian Becerra (Morningside HS) and Oscar Canela (Paramount HS).
Ponce and Vasquez have been the keys to the team's defense this season, which has resulted in six shutouts and a cumulative 1.19 goals against average. As for Julien, he has three goals and three assists on the season, but has been a mainstay at midfield and a solid defender. Corona is second on the team with nine goals and tied for the team lead with nine assists. His speed on the outside has helped create a great deal of the team's offensive success.
Martin Del Campo has started 17 of the team's games this year and has posted a 7-5-4 record with a 1.23 goals against average. He was the Falcons starting goalie during their 2014 state championship. Jimenez has scored three goals from his defensive position, while Canela leads the team with 11 goals. He and Becerra have both utilized their speed on the outside, which has resulted in six goals and six assists.
