Playing their second Western State Conference East Division doubleheader of the season, the Cerritos College men's tennis team posted a pair of 9-0 wins over Mt. San Antonio College. It clinches the sixth straight conference title for the Falcons (19-2, 6-0) and their 11th in the last 14 years. They will now travel to El Camino College on Wednesday for another conference match.
The two matches gave the Falcons a chance to get in players who have seen limited action this season and they all came through with wins. Additionally, several doubles pairings were making their debuts, with the same results.
In the first match, Cerritos went through the Mounties in straight sets in singles play and picked up three convincing doubles victories. The second match saw two singles matches go to a third set tie-breaker, with the Falcons coming out on top.
